Software to panelize PCB
1913 1 Oct 12.2019, 16:51:00

Hi.
I am looking for tools to be able to panelize my PCB designs before sending the Gerber to the manufacturer to make the panelized PCB boards. Some manufacturers offer this service, but I prefer to do it by myself, to have total control and decide how to do it.
I work with Eagle, although I can also use Altium. Neither of them offers a professional solution for paneling PCBs, I mean an assisted system for creating PCB panels with "V-cut" or "Mouse bites" separators, mainly for PCBs with irregular or round shapes.
I have, for some time now, the CAM350 and Blueprint tools, but I still did not have time to test them. I've seen some videos on YouTube, but I still do not know which of the two is used to panelize, using the Gerber I've already created from Eagle.
What experiences do you have, and what programs would you recommend to be able to panelize PCB's? I understand that this is done from the Gerber that I have created with programs like Eagle, Altium, Kicad, etc ...
Best Regards.

We V-groove quite large panels regularly using both Altium & DipTrace. Just set the spacing between each individual circuit to 0.0mm when V-grooving.
I've not had any trouble using either program.
