IPC-2581 Consortium is a group of PCB design and supply chain companies whose collective goal is to enable, facilitate and drive the use of IPC-2581 in the industry. It is devoted to accelerating the adoption of IPC-2581 as an open, neutrally maintained global standard to encourage innovation...
The IPC-2581 Consortium Technical Committee members is a team of about 50 representatives from various segments within the PCB Design and Fabrication Community. The community is made up of design centers, CAD tool developers, CAM tool developers, analysis tool developers and manufacturing representatives...
IPC-2581 consortium As a Consortium member, Sierra Circuits endorses the IPC-2581B standard, which will accelerate manufacturing and assembly. It will enable design data to be downloaded without interpretation directly into CAM systems, thereby saving time and labor, compared with Gerber-based project...
The correlation between the data in these different file formats becomes the responsibility of the manufacturer and their partner at the systems company. Much time and effort is spent in automating this process to ensure that the data provided meet the designer's fabrication, assembly and test ...
Hemanth Shah, the chairman of IPC-2581 consortium Watch our interview with Hemant Shah, the benefits of IPC-2581 revision C. Controlled impedance specifications in IPC-DPMX revision C IPC-2581 rev C: Enables the precise definition of impedance requirements at the net, layer, or stack-up. Ident...
TheIPC-2581 Configurationdialog is used to configure IPC-2581 exports. Related to the existing ODB++ format, IPC-2581 is an open-source standard developed by theInstitute for Printed CircuitsIPC-2581 Consortium some years ago (2004), but since refined to the most recent Revision A...
data format specifications, nothing can be done until the supply chain produces, consumes and supports such a specification. This is where a new consortium of PCB design software (EDA) and supply chain companies fits in: to bring companies together to enable, facilit...
As of this writing [July 2012], Cadence and Zuken have announced support for IPC2581. The complete list can be seen at theIPC 2581 consortium's web page. Artwork has completed a family of IPC2581 based tools available to both OEMs and end users that bridge mechanical, PCB and IC data ...
IPC-2581 is not only being developed by two individual companies as before, but IPC-2581 consortium comprises more than 100 members. Participating companies come from EDA-CAD, CAM, assembly (EMS), PCB manufacturing and testing, as well as users from all over the world. They all have a comm...
Related to the existing ODB++ format, IPC-2581 is an open-source standard developed by theInstitute for Printed CircuitsIPC-2581 Consortium some years ago (2004), but since refined to the most recent Revision A and B releases (IPC-2581A/B). ...
