At Design Forum at IPC APEX EXPO, this release was applied to a real-world scenario, when founding IPC-2581 Consortium member company, Fujitsu Network Communications, unveiled a 20-layer complex board manufactured only using an IPC-2581B design file.
“IPC-2581B uses an intelligent XML schema format that accelerates PCB fabrication, assembly and testing, and enables design data to be transferred between engineering and manufacturing without the need for human interpretation,” said Tsuyoshi Ueshima, Senior Vice President of Development, Fujitsu Network Communications. “This eliminates redundant labor and reduces the opportunity for error, resulting in high quality products that customers expect.”
