UcamX v2024 is Ucamco’s latest CAM software suite designed for pre-production engineering in the electronics manufacturing industry, specifically for optimizing PCB layouts for manufacturing. It succeeds the older Ucam software and is known for zero-defect tooling, accepting various PCB data formats and generating production-ready data. The latest release, UcamX v2024.11, was announced on February 27, 2025, alongside Integr8tor Nexus v2024.11.
Key Features of UcamX v2024
64-bit Core and Parallel Processing: Utilizes a 64-bit engine for handling high-layer-count jobs and large datasets, with parallel processing to split CPU-intensive tasks across multiple cores for faster performance.
YELO (Yield Enhancing Layout Optimizer): Includes tools like:
Copper Adjuster: Automatically optimizes annular rings, copper-to-copper, and copper-to-drill clearances using AI-driven techniques.
Mask and Legend Adjusters: Enhances solder mask and legend placement for improved manufacturability.
Clearance to Outline: Adjusts traces and regions to meet clearance requirements.
Workspace GUI: Customizable interface with multiple toolbar configurations and direct access to HyperTool/Visual HyperScript for automation.
Smart Features: Includes clipping preview, copper count, extended view, and enhanced rout manager for precise control over PCB designs.
Integr8tor Integration: Works with Integr8tor v2024 for pre-CAM analysis, including solder mask color options, clearance analysis, and agile job queue handling.
Jayda: A new PCB quoting software integrated with UcamX, streamlining quote generation for PCB procurement.
Supported Formats: Inputs include Gerber X2/X3, ODB++, GDSII, and outputs for various production equipment.
