"CAM for the 21st Century"
CAM
Our CAM services augment a PCB manufacturer's CAM department, contribute to the strategic posture of small and medium sized manufacturers and typically save 50% of the CAM costs.
Our CAM services can be completed quicker, include DfX analysis and generate increased profits. We check design rules, capability requirements, manufacturability, materials availability and costing (not pricing) along with the CAM work. We panelize the boards, put in coupons and tooling holes as per your specifications, provide Automated Optical Inspection (AOI), flying probe, bare board test (BBT) and/or net list data. In addition ETL provides the data for you to plot artwork, CNC Drill and rout programs. We design and provide the inputs for BBT fixtures. We can help you project yields and material utilization.
With ETL’s advanced Front End Engineering, PCB manufacturers are able to lower their costs, generate more profits and grow their customer base while being assured of world class data management.
ETL CAM services allow PCB manufacturers to convert their heavy fixed costs to significantly lower and variable costs – in synch with revenues. CAM is an expensive area for PCB manufacturers:
  • Payroll including benefits and supervision costs $37,000 to $86,000 per person per year
  • CAM Software costs $11,000 to $200,000 per station
  • Workstation, network, space and overheads can cost $7,000 to $20,000 per station per year
  • Total costs are generally $165,000 to $510,000 per year
    ETL delivers accurate, reliable CAM services with fast, friendly service. All this for a cost that is significantly less than a PCB manufacturer's current costs.
    ETL also offers Quote Services that draw upon its Engineering expertise. ETL reviews the inputs provided for quotation to provide manufacturers with a complete list of all the cost drivers and their impact on their shop floor. Manufacturers can run these through their own pricing program to generate the final price after discounts. Alternatively PCB manufacturers can use ETL’s programs to get a price based on a complete evaluation of the part. Whatever pricing program is used there are no nasty surprises when the order hits the shop floor!
    ETL is dedicated to providing the highest levels of customer service for you and your employees. Excellent customer service allows you to be efficient and effective and is the only way to realize significant cost savings.
