Reverse Engineering Services

Do you have legacy PC Boards layouts that was created with an obsolete CAD system or NEVER had CAD files?

The Test Connection, Inc. (TTCI) offers Reverse Engineering of PC Board's Gerber Data. This services is the process of recovering the design database from the board Gerber data . This requires the adaptation of intelligent techniques along with an in-depth understanding of manufacturing and design skills. TTCI specialize in the conversion of your old design Gerber files to create intelligent CAD system database format by adding parts information (i.e.: Location Reference, X & Y Coordinates, Theta (Part Rotation), Part Number (Reference to BOM), Package Style, PCB Mount Side (Top/Bottom) & Component Technology (SMT vs. PTH)) and netlist information.

Service Features
TTCI's software facilities for back processing of Gerber data. Our engineering team have in-depth knowledge in board manufacturing process and have vast experience in converting the production files into electronic formats like Valor ODB++, GenCAD and ATE (i.e.: Agilent 3070, Digitaltest MTSXXX & Teradyne (GenRad) TestStation/228x)
