Understanding PCB Data – From Design to Pre-Engineering
Fed talks am 15.01.2026
Behind every successful PCB production lies one crucial factor: data quality. In this session, we’ll explore how design data is transmitted, which file formats are used, and why complete and accurate information is essential for a seamless manufacturing process. We’ll look closer at what happens when information is missing, the role of Gerber files as the digital blueprint of your board, and how pre-engineering ensures your design is correctly interpreted, manufacturable, and compliant before production starts. Join the FED Talks with CONFIDEEs Constantin Tanase, Operations Manager, to gain a clearer understanding of what happens between design handover and the factory floor - and how getting the data right can save both time and cost. Constantin Tanase has served as Operations Manager at Confidee since 2023. With decades of hands-on experience across several leading European PCB manufacturers, he brings deep technical expertise to our customers.
