What is tooling in PCB?
PCB tooling holes, or mounting holes, are circular openings made at the edge of a PCB. Tooling holes are non-plated, and they are used by machines to hold the PCB down for alignment. During the fabrication process, it’s imperative that the PCB be kept still and properly aligned for drilling.
What are tools used for PCB design?
For the most part, tools for PCB design comprise electronic software for Gerber and excellon files, CAD software, and the Internet for finding the right avenues to source your components from. There are also a few materials that can be termed as ‘physical tools’ like stencils and soldering tools.

What is a tooling charge?
If your label quote has a tooling charge on it, then this means that we do not have the tool to cut your labels to the shape you requested. The tooling fee is a one time charge on your first order only.
What is NRE tooling?
Definition of NRE NRE is an acronym that stands for Non-Recurring Engineering. The term is used to describe any one time costs that are undertaken during a manufacturing process.
Which tool is used in circuit design and simulation?
Logisim. This is an open source as well as a free tool, and this software is used to design & simulate digital logic circuits. Logisim is very useful in learning on the fundamental logic circuits concepts because it provides an interface like simple to use toolbar.
Does NRE include tooling?
NRE costs also include all pre-production activities and requirements such as production line tooling, jigs and fixtures, production tooling like injection molding tools or die casting tooling, any test rigs that need to be developed to ensure quality control measures are in place throughout mass production.
What is tooling in manufacturing?
Tooling, or machine tooling, is the backbone of every manufacturing and molding process. Tooling refers to building the different types of components and machinery needed for production, like molds, jigs, and fixtures.
What is tool less manufacturing?
Tool-less digital molding is a new manufacturing capability powered by 3D Systems’ Figure 4™ technology that gives users the ability to go straight from CAD to manufacturing without tooling.
