Macaos Gallery PreCAM is the ideal Pre-CAM solution for PCB manufacturers, resellers and traders. It adds a powerful price calculation and quotation generation functionality to Macaos Gallery, allowing you to respond to RFQs (Reqests for Quotation) within just a couple of minutes.
Macaos Gallery PreCAM adds the following tools and modules to Macaos Gallery Basic version:
- Quotations
The quotation module in Macaos Gallery PreCAM allows you to instantly calculate prices for any quantity and lead time. You can generate a quotation for your customer and mail it to them in a matter of seconds. - Quotation archive
Each quotation you generate is archived. The archive helps with sales followup. - Price editor
Use the price editor module to specify your pricing parameters. You may define different price lists to meet different needs. Nearly 200 different pricing parameters are supported.
Macaos Gallery PreCAM includes the following Macaos Gallery tools and modules:
- Product Browser
Your products (MIF files) are listed by filename. The graphic viewer allows you to view, inspect and measure any detail in the product. The browser also shows key product specifications. - Import
Import a PCB product from Gerber/Drill or ODB++ data. Numerous relevant characteristics are automatically calculated, and you can easily inspect and measure for minimum feature sizes. Choose from a number of pre-defined stackups, or define a custom buildup and generate a high quality technical drawing. - Panel
Step up a PCB board to an array (panel) suitable for assembly in a matter of seconds. Place break-off tabs automatically, or exactly as you wish. Add fiducial marks, tooling holes, bad marks, copper fill, bar codes, text, and test coupons to the panel frame. - Solder Paste Stencil
Create a solder paste stencil product, from an existing PCB product or a gerber file. Choose a stencil frame or upload your own. Specify adjustments to pad openings, split or modify the shape of openings, define stepped (thinner) regions, add text and more. - Assembly Mask
Add assembly mask data (such as peel-off, glue or solder paste) to an existing PCB or panel without needing to go back to the original CAD Layout system. - Technical Documentation
Generate technical drawings in PDF format.
Macaos Gallery PreCAM+EMS also includes the following Macaos Gallery tools and modules:
- Assembly Data Manager
Manage Pick and Place (PnP) and Bill of Materials (BOM) data for a PCB. Visually inspect and modify component placement, rotation, part numbers and more. Search for parts and suppliers and quickly estimate the cost of all components, through an integrated interface to the Octopart database. - Pallet creation
Design a wave solder pallet or selective wave solder pallet. You only need to define pallet dimensions and parameters and place board fasteners. For a selective wave solder pallet simply draw the solder openings and component pockets. The rest is calculated automatically. - Depanelization
Generate a milling file (in G-code) for removing break-off tabs from a panel. Design a fixture to hold all boards in place during tab removal. - Test fixture
Design a "Bed of Nails" test fixture for a PCB. Click on holes or pads to place guide pins or test pins. Test jigs and test pins for a complete in-circuit test setup are available for purchase from the Test accessories folder.
