eDFX Services Selects Valor's High-End DFM Solution; Becomes Valor's First Certified Design Partner
2004 Valor Computerized Systems FSE announced that eDFX Services, Inc., an electronics design outsourcing firm, selected Valor's Trilogy 5000 pre-production engineering solution to expand its service offering with high-end DFM (Design For Manufacturing) capabilities. The company also announced that it has recognized eFDX as being its first Certified Design Partner, a new Valor initiative aimed at bringing certain best practices for the implementation of Valor's DFM solutions.
eDFX specializes in highly complex hardware designs, PCB layouts and DFM services for system and semiconductor manufacturers. Valor's solution bridges the gap between CAD-to-Manufacturing for a more streamlined and coherent engineering process driven by the high-level ODB++ data exchange model. Paul Burns, eDFX's VP Layout Services, points out, "Our customers require us to perform DFM analysis early in the design cycle. DFM analysis is an integral part of board design process in order to meet stringent requirement for high volume production while meeting electrical performance specifications. The Trilogy 5000 tool set enhances our design services to eDFX customers."
The selected system configuration includes technologies such as Fabrication, Netlist and Assembly analysis, capable of performing over 700 rules-based checks, based on actual manufacturing constraints. Further selected system components are Valor's ( http://www.valor.com ) versatile BOM (Bill of Materials) manager, a template driven application allowing to adapt to an infinite number of BOM layouts, as well as a subscription to the Valor Parts Library (VPL), a unique online content library, containing millions of accurate component geometries to enhance PCB design and assembly verification performance.
eDFX Services, Inc. provides outsourced design services such as hardware and product development, PCB layout, signal integrity analysis, development boards and reference designs for System-On-a-Chip (SoC) products. eDFX's customers are system and semiconductor manufacturing firms.
