Phiplastic Vector

Vector transforms raster scanned image of the 'golden board' into vector form. As opposed to Gold, high-end graphic primitives are used, such as line and termination pad. This makes it possible not only to make a copy of the printed board, but also to modify it by means of any CAM system. The result of vectoring is a set of layer by layer files in format Gerber RS-274-X, which - when imported into a CAM system - give a project with eliminated image tilt, accurately coincident pattern of layers, adequate aperture tables and holes centered according to termination pads.

A typical operation scenario:

• Scanning of a corresponding board layer;
• Automatic circuit vectoring, using lines and termination pads;
• Automatic hole vectoring;
• Editing aperture list;
• Eliminating the image tilt;
• Point of reference definition;
• Applying grids to the sizes and primitives position;
• Centering primitives according to other primitives;
• Checking and correction of the results with high level of automation;
• Data export for production or additional treatment;

The features of Vector are not exhausted with what is mentioned above. The whole arsenal of available tools form a powerful vector graphical editor with raster layers.

Our products Inspection, Color and Gold expand the features of Vector. Particularly, Inspection makes it possible to make a comprehensive comparison of the original with vectoring results, which guarantees their equivalence.
