Stencil is core process step of SMT (PCB assembly)

Solder paste stencil is very cheap, but it determines soldering joint quality of PCBA.

Current stencil preparation (non-digitalized) brings risks & troubles

Usually SMT factories (OEM/EMS) outsource solder paste stencil to external suppliers with Gerber data plus their requirements, the increasing NPI trend brings heavy workload & even quality risks (rework, shipment delay, lost orders, compensation) for SMT factories.

Stencil Designer: validation, design, digitalization

Stencil Designer converts traditional human inspection of aperture design from external house to intelligent/automatic way with powerful checks, which not only increases work efficiency of SMT process engineers, but also guarantees high quality aperture design for stable stencil quality.

Automatic validation: powerful rules for typical errors

Stencil Designer converts traditional human inspection of aperture design from external house to intelligent/automatic way with powerful checks, which not only increases work efficiency of SMT process engineers, but also guarantees high quality aperture design for stable stencil quality.

Automatic validation: powerful rules for typical errors

Stencil Designer builds in dozens of checking rules (area ratio, aspect ratio, spacing, distance to via hole, …), which enables SMT process engineers to perform automatic checks for typical errors of aperture design.

Automatic validation: comparison for difference

With the digitalized aperture library, you could compare your aperture design with the past design, and you could also compare different revisions of your products.

Know-how digitalization: past experience conversion

Intelligent learning technology allows you to easily convert your past experience to digitalized aperture library, and you could accomplish the conversion of your years’ stencil design within 1-3 days.

Know-how digitalization: automatic aperture assignment

Stencil Designer will intelligently assign apertures for those packages available in centralized library, it just takes seconds to accomplish assignment even the total pads quantity of a new aperture is more than 10,000.

Know-how digitalization: easy new aperture creation

Stencil Designer comes with flexible aperture pattern creation function, it contains plenty of pattern templates and allow end-users to select & fine-tine them easily; moreover it supports DXF graphic import/export for special aperture design.

Know-how digitalization: automatic processing & optimization

Stencil Designer comes with automatic processing & optimization approaches for special pads (thermal, common shared, test points …), safe distance to via holes, step generation & etc.

Know-how digitalization: knowledge transfer, continue improvement

Only senior engineers could manage the centralized knowledgebase library, all other engineers just apply them for new products. The manufacturing team could review top n defects, and make continuous improvement related to stencil apertures.

Know-how digitalization: worldwide process standardization

For big organization with worldwide sites/factories, global deployment with centralize management team allow you to manage best practice for worldwide manufacturing sites; it not only allows you to minimize business for current business, but also enable the possibility of business ramp up needs.

Know-how digitalization: aperture usage process traceability

Stencil Designer records aperture usage for every product, it allows you to trace all applied products if there is a risky aperture.

Other features: supported data source & step-by-step workflow

It supports major EDA CAD & Gerber data in the industry, step-by-step flowchart simplifies the usage of software.

Other features: panelization & cooling plate stencil

Stencil Designer also supports intelligent panelization & cooling plate stencil, and could output stencil Gerber with template for laser cutting purpose.

Innovation: core SMT process know-how digitalization

This innovation not only ensures stable stencil quality to minimize business risk, but also increases work efficiency & relieves work pressure for SMT process engineers.
