PCB Plating

Optimize costs, quality, time to market, and production capacity

Ensuring quality throughout the full cycle, from design to production

The entire PCB market is under pressure.

More components on smaller footprints force PCB designers to use reduced safety margins leading to potential impedance or electrical flow problems;
FABS are bound by the physics of plating processes while required to deliver high-quality products at the lowest cost in the shortest time possible.

Elsyca's solutions support all the stakeholders involved in the PCB industry by:

identifying potential quality problems earlier in the process;
avoiding faulty designs getting into production;
reducing design iterations for faster time to market;
ensuring parts are produced to specs;
qualifying copper layer thickness distribution;
optimizing production capacity and reduce costs.

Our accurate and fast plating simulation solutions fill the gap between existing tools to ultimately deliver a full quality control over the entire PCB industry chains.

Learn how new predictive engineering modeling solutions are transforming the entire PCB industry.

A key to accelerate the industry shift-left quest to increase product quality consistency.

" Copper balance and thickness uniformity reduces scrap rate and improves yield. Nowadays with advanced technology, such software is strongly recommended "

Ghassen Dhaoudadi

" Copper balancing should be done, not only at the panel level in PCB FAB, but every PCB designer should be taught the many benefits of copper balancing and incorporate the concepts into their board designs "
