FASTechnologies is the leading provider of advanced post process engineering software for drill and rout application for PCB Manufacturing.

FASTechnologies is the leading provider of advanced post process engineering software for drill and rout application for PCB Manufacturing. An NC drill, also known as a numerically controlled drill, is a machine tool used in the manufacturing of printed circuit boards (PCBs). It is specifically designed to create precision holes in PCBs for various components, such as electronic components or mounting holes.

The NC drill uses computer numerical control (CNC) technology to accurately position and drill holes according to the design specifications. It operates by utilizing drill bits of different sizes and types to create holes of various diameters and depths in the PCB material.

NC-CAM Drill improves drilling productivity by crafting productive, trouble free drill programs. With its unparalleled OptiScan! path optimizer, automatic tooling pin avoidance, and clever multi-tool slots, NC-CAM Drill delivers the latest ideas and techniques in drilling. Clean interfaces to Valor Genesis, IGI PAR/CAM, and CAM-350 artwork CAM systems provide a direct path from your artwork CAM through NC-CAM Drill and on to your production floor.
