Overview of Quilter’s fabrication rules, detailing how they define geometric constraints for manufacturability and ensure compliance with fabricator capabilities.
Fabricator constraints are a subset of the overall constraints that define the minimum geometric thresholds a fabricator can apply when manufacturing your circuit board.
Specifically, Quilter's fabrication rule profiles include the following:
Minimum trace width
Minimum trace clearance
Minimum drill hole size
Minimum annular ring size
Minimum edge-to-copper clearance
These are the absolute minimums that your fabricator will allow. Any smaller dimension defined later, including by specifying a netwidth, will be ignored or will generate a DRC violation.
If using your own stackup, these will be read from your ECAD files so they'll need to be edited there. When using a Quilter stackup, these will be part of that definition.
*Coming very soon* Editing these constraints after upload will be possible within 2 weeks.
