PCB Preflight uses a revolutionary yet simple approach for building powerful online PCB manufacturing applications. Our goal was to make the API so easy, anyone without web experience could build an interface to PCB Preflight within an hour or less.

• All you need is the ability to Parse a JSON file, really that's it!
• Of course, if you wish to get fancy performing DFM Checks, PCB Panelization, or generating PDF reports -- there is one more step a basic understanding of our Matrix PCB format.

Only 2 Steps to Start using PCB Preflight API:

1. Ability to send your CAM files (i.e Gerber, NC Drill/Rout, ODB++, DXF, IPC-2581, Netlist) along with an optional Matrix file (*.fm6) in a single zip file. We call this type of zipped file a Matrix Blob.
2. Wait for PCB Preflight API to finish, and parse the resulting JSON file.
