Current IssueEngineering Economics
The real cost to manufacture a PCB encompasses everything that goes into making the product: the materials and other value-added supplies, machine and personnel costs, and most importantly, your quality. A hard look at real costs seems wholly appropriate.
Alternate Metallization Processes
Traditional electroless copper and electroless copper immersion gold have been primary PCB plating methods for decades. But alternative plating metals and processes have been introduced over the past few years as miniaturization and advanced packaging continue to develop.

Frontline PCB Solutions' InCAM Software Reaches a Record 1,500 Seats
October 25, 2017 | Frontline PCB SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Frontline PCB Solutions announced at the TPCA show that its InCAM preproduction CAM solution has achieved a record number of 1,500 seats worldwide. InCAM is now deployed at over 330 sites — over 60 relying exclusively on InCAM — and has thousands of certified operators using InCAM software to produce the majority of advanced designs powering mobile devices today.
“InCAM delivers tangible benefits which explain its success,” said Yovav Sameah, president, Frontline. “Most of the world’s advanced fabricators already rely on InCAM’s high-precision CAM tooling and advanced data integrity for robust production across all PCB industry segments. The launch of InCAM Flex in 2016 significantly expanded InCAM’s capabilities and penetration, and Frontline’s partnership with Mentor ensures compliance with the ODB++ data format. Frontline has pioneered innovative CAM solutions for over twenty years and remains focused on meeting the challenges of this fast-moving industry. “
About InCAM
InCAM is a comprehensive CAM system deployed at the majority of the world’s advanced fabricators, powering PCB production across all PCB industry segments – from simple to complex MLBs through HDI, IC substrates, rigid-flex and flex PCB manufacturers. Fully ODB++ compliant, InCAM supports the latest versions of the PCB industry’s standard data format. InCAM combines editing and analysis with automatic design-for-manufacture optimization to perform fast high-precision CAM tooling – helping manufacturers achieve lasting profitability and a competitive edge. InCAM expands yield growth by enabling operators to multi-task and run processes in the background using the computer's multi-core CPU capabilities. Cycle time is shortened as colleagues collaborate on jobs in a data-secure environment. InCAM delivers advanced data integrity and fault indication by allowing interactive post processing on selected DFM results. InCAM operators enjoy a streamlined user interface and easy-to-use tools. In addition, backwards compatibility with Genesis 2000, for both data and automation, drives productivity even further.
