IGI SAVES OEMS TIME AND MONEY WHILE INCREASING DATA INTEGRITY

IGI TO INTRODUCE NEW DFM & DESIGN VERIFICATION TOOL AT PWB DESIGN
CONFERENCE

Minneapolis, Minnesota, March 13, 1995-- On March 21, 1995 at the PWB
Design Conference, IGI will introduce and release "PAR Design", its new
DFM software package to automate and greatly reduce the time to verify the
design and fabrication output (Gerber, Drill, IPC-350, etc.) for all PWB
design systems.

PAR Design is a new member of the highly successful PAR family of products
for the bareboard fabricator. Nine out of the top ten bareboard
fabricators use PAR for their design input. PAR Design automatically takes
the CAD or CAM output from all PWB design systems (the same data that
would be used to build boards) and analyzes it for design intent and
manufacturability.

The first thing that PAR design does is compare the CAD or other supplied
netlist to the manufacturing graphics. If they are the same, PAR continues
to determine:

1) The technology of the board
2) The manufacturability of the design
3) The typical minimum value for all DRC checks
4) Identifies all manufacturing problems

Having this information up front at design time can save many dollars in
scrap boards and lost time to market. Many PWB fabricators will give their
customers preferred tooling slots and delivery when supplied a PAR
Report/Data.

PAR Design is the first product of its kind and eliminates the need for
Gerber viewers at the end of the design process. It not only performs the
same function automatically, it adds functionality and does a 100% check.
Files can be brought from PAR Design back to the CAD system for easy
identification and correction of any design changes.
