We're a small PCB manufacturer -- all we need is DFM checks on our website, and show "real PCB bare-board" preview image. Can CloudDFM do this?

Yes, CloudDFM can definitely satisfy your requirements.  All you need is the STANDARD plan which costs $150/mo, and a basic understanding of the Matrix file format.


Here's a very simple example showing how to implement DFM Checking into a single HTML file,

https://github.com/NumericalInnovations/clouddfm-examples/tree/master/05_basic_dfmchecker


By simply adjusting the Matrix file DFMCHECKER array you generate (before sending to CloudDFM) you can instruct which DFM Checks to perform and what values to use.

By simply adding EXPORT_REALISTIC array to the matrix file you can determine exactly how to output the "Real PCB Bare-board" images.


Parsing the DFM Report File:

The returned DFM reports are comma separated (for easy parsing) and you can display the results on your website however you wish.  Here's an example below of a PCB manufactueres website that parsed the DFM report file and then displayed the results in their own graphical preference.


Here's a sample DFM Text file:

Search Area (inch): Left= 16.331, Right= 23.110, Bottom= 12.783, Top= 18.593
