FAB 3000 V6
CAM Software targeted for designers of PCBs, Microwave and RF circuits, chemically milled parts and optical components; and to photomask manufacturers. Perfect for anyone who would like to have "high-end" CAM software to run DRC/DFM verification, edit and output gerber data, compare nets, merge pcb's, generate part centroid files, and perform many other useful features.

Merge/Panelize - SAVE 50% in your PCB Manufacturing Costs
FAB 3000 lets you easily merge different PCB designs together so they can be manufactured as “one set of Gerber files” - saving you $$$ on fabrication costs. FAB 3000 automatically performs all necessary object transformations, dcode & drill tool transcoding. In many cases customers using Merge Wizard will be able to squeeze several PCB designs on a single panel, thereby improving efficiency & saving money. See Tutorial Movie >

NC Editor
Full-Featured NC Drill & Rout Editor. Add Drill: Hole, Slot (G85), Circle (G84), Text Horizontal (M97), Text Vertical (M97). Add Rout: Path, Slot, Circle Clockwise (G32), Circle Counter-Clockwise (G33). Add Rout Tabs and more.

Advanced DRC/DFM Checker
Find all hidden manufacturing violations inside your gerber data BEFORE sending them out to manufacturing! FAB 3000 DRC/DFM Bare-Board Analysis tools promptly check your gerber designs for all potential manufacturing problems.

DRC/DFM Checker Include: Find Acid Traps, Minimum Spacing, Thermal Conflicts, Power/Ground shorts, Starved Thermals, Solder Bridges, Mask Slivers, Silkscreen over mask, and much more. Click for more information about Advanced DRC/DFM >

Netlist Comparison
Ensure Your Design Integrity. Nowadays there is an ever growing need to verify PCB designs electrically. Netlist comparison is the most efficient and reliable method of ensuring design integrity has been maintained during the manufacturing stages.

Generate Part Centroid Files (aka Pick-and-place file)
Automated equipment is used to place the surface mount components on your pcbs. To rapidly program these machines, a Part Centroid file is required! Some CAD packages will automatically generate this file and some will not. FAB 3000 (Professional Version) can easily create this centroid file from your existing gerber files.

Large IMAGE Plugin
Generate high-Resolution images up to 25,400,000 DPI accuracy! Output as either TIFF or Bitmap files.  Included are image options to Mirror, Invert Polarity, Trim edges, and data Compression.  Perfect for any one who needs high-resolution output for maskless lithography, materials deposition onto substrates, and other manufacturing solutions for MEMs, ICs, Panel Displays, etc.

GDS-II Plugin
Import/ Export GDS-II files. GDS-II is the de-facto format for anyone producing artworks for ultra high-resolution IC's, MEMs, hybrid circuits, and more. Perfect for anyone who would like to convert their design to GDS-II data or vice-versa.

3D Plugin
Import/Export: 3D-STL files which are supported by most 3D CAD systems. Export: 3D-DXF and IGES.Perfect for anyone who would like to move their 2D designs into 3D tools like SolidWorks, ProEngineer, Rhino3D, etc.; for mechanical analysis, prototypes, and more.
