Fabrication files and validation
22 min · IntermediateUnderstand the concept
Gerbers, drills, assembly drawings and bills of materials describe production intent. Review footprints, orientation, test access and versioning before fabrication; a clean DRC is not full verification.
Read the associated publisher material for deeper derivations, lectures and problem sets. This summary is an independent Harderware explanation.
Your exercise
Create a manufacturing handoff checklist including BOM, DRC, revision, test points and inspection.
Practice in simulation or at safe low voltage unless supervised by qualified personnel. Follow official equipment safety guidance.
Record your engineering notes
Capture a hypothesis, your observations, test evidence, failure cases or the next experiment. These notes stay in your browser unless you export them.
