Preferring to spend hours typing code instead of graphically pushing traces around in a PCB layout tool, [James Bowman] over at ExCamera Labs has developed CuFlow, a method for routing PCBs in Python.

It’s certainly not the first PCB router we’ve seen, but it may be one of the nicer ones. If you make a PCB this way, you might like to give it professional-looking solder mask with a laser.

2. This example of river routing, a board designed by ZTE Corp. from the 2010 Mentor Graphics Technology Leadership Awards, is typical of many of todayâ s designs.

Borrowing concepts from IC design, Cadence Design Systems this week (March 26) is introducing the Global Route Environment Technology for its Allegro pc-board design system. It combines a graphical ...

Tools required: Computer with PCB design software, CNC router and copper-clad board. Image gallery Skip image gallery. Image caption, Design . Image caption, Export to CNC . Image caption, ...

In PCB designs that implement high data rates, optimized routing must be taken into consideration to guarantee excellent signal quality performance. Chang Fei Yee has been working at Keysight since ...

Mentor router is ‘gaming for PCB design’ Mentor Graphics has released an automated routing version of its XtremePCB design tool that can be distributed over up to 15 CPUs to cut design cycle times.

Trace routing is crucial for differential signals and high-speed clock signals. Factors like the layer thickness in PCB stackup, track width, and return path should be designed as per the standard ...
