Pentalogix, Inc., a leading provider of PCB CAM software, announced the release of ViewMate Professional, a powerful Gerber editor and PCB production file automation tool designed for professional use. This new offering consolidates and replaces the company’s previous tools, ViewMate Pro and CAMMaster, delivering high-end functionality directly to PCB designers and PCB fabrication engineers.
ViewMate Professional puts users in full control of their manufacturing files, eliminating reliance on external “silent fixes” and ensuring greater accuracy and transparency throughout the production process. The software combines a pro-level Gerber editor with robust PCB production file automation capabilities. It streamlines everyday CAM tasks through built-in scripting capabilities that enable custom data export and automation. Key advancements include robust PCB panelization for optimal production utilization, integrated stencil design to generate solder paste stencil data directly from PCB designs, netlist extraction and verification for enhanced reliability, and seamless Gerber-to-DXF conversion.
Among its standout innovations is PCB Navigator, a comprehensive data aggregator that intelligently integrates Gerber files, drill data, pick-and-place information, and component libraries. This smart platform supports automatic footprint identification, component viewing by part number or reference designator, high-contrast visualization of PCBs, advanced search and filtering, and direct access to component specifications, datasheets, and vendor links. Additionally, ViewMate Professional features an integrated Smart DFM tool that rigorously verifies board layouts against specific manufacturing specifications, helping to prevent costly errors and improve yield.
“ViewMate Professional represents a significant evolution in PCB CAM technology, bringing professional-grade tools that were once exclusive to fabricators into the hands of designers and engineers,” said Agustin Araujo, President of Pentalogix. “By combining advanced automation, intelligent navigation, and proactive DFM checks, we’re enabling our users to produce higher-quality designs faster, with complete confidence in their manufacturing output.”
ViewMate Professional is available now through annual subscription, including ongoing updates and dedicated support. For more information, visit https://www.pentalogix.com/viewmate-professional.
