Discover the advantage of InPlan™Flex’s dedicated workstations that make it easy to plan manufacturing processes, generate outputs, store and manage engineering data, and configure the system.
Job Manager
Create new jobs quickly and easily using automatic job creation tools. Generate multi-zone buildups with flex, rigid, and rigid-flex zones. Create adhesive-free or acrylic materials buildups that support flex materials, coverlays, adhesives, and stiffeners. Increase efficiency by synchronizing ODB++ data and integrating data from electronic specs.
Stackup Designer
Easily design flex and rigid-flex stackups with online simulation of multi zone thickness while editing and impedance modeling for all rigid and flex zones, using your impedance control vendor of choice. Use InPlan™Flex to perform safer stackup design, ensuring the design is not resin starved, while meeting your impedance and thickness requirements and constraints.
NC Tools
Automatically define the NC bits and tooling methods the NC machines will need. InPlan™Flex acquires finish hole ODB++ data and selects the right drill and rout bits based on company-defined rules. InPlan™Flex supports all profiling methods; plated and non-plated holes, routs, slots, and V-cuts; large hole tooling in nibbling or rout; and more.
Panel Design
Use the Panel Design Wizard to generate arrays and panels with cost-efficient material utilization. Easily apply your panelization rules to panelize ODB++ profile shapes using automatic part interlocking at different angles, coupon placement, accessory panelization, sheet cut design, and dimensioning diagrams. You can use both standard and dynamic panels, the border and PCB areas, and per-part coupons.
CAM Instructions
Solve production issues by generating rules-based engineering CAM instructions (CIs) containing Genesis DFMs, checklists, script names, and/or analysis actions. Simply publish the CIs to implement the instructions.
BOM
Use the BOM Wizard to compile a list of materials per fabrication process and to prepare BOM reports in seconds. Automatically add all PCB-related materials including cores, prepregs, laminates, foils, coverlays, adhesives, and stiffeners. Process materials may also be added such as backup and entry plates and NC drill and rout bits.
Traveler
Generate multiple travelers automatically combining ERP-defined manufacturing operations with product attributes, notes, and graphic attachments in seconds. Review and edit travelers in the Traveler Editor and opt to preserve manual changes the next time the traveler is generated.
Library Subsystems
Save time and ensure the smooth running of your system with InPlan™Flex’s library subsystems. Manage your company’s engineering knowledge and data and configure InPlan™Flex according to your planning and manufacturing environments.
