Printed circuit board CAD/CAM data transfer using EDIF

Objective

Significant reduction in cost for data transfer (20% saving)
Significant reduction in time to market for PCBs (from 7 days to 5.5 days)

GERTRUDE is a Demonstration Project in which high-level electronic data transfer between design systems (CAD) and manufacturing systems (CAM), based on the emerging EDIF Version 4.0.0 data format for PCBs and Multichip Modules (MCMs) will be establsihed and demonstrated. A significant part of the EDIF format has been developed within Europe, supported by Esprit Project ESIP (8370).
