Jersey City, NJ – In August, the U.S. Patent Office awarded a patent to Cookson Electronics Assembly Materials Group for its Alpha Dimensions Stencil Configuration, Design and Ordering Software. The patent, "System and Method for Modifying Electronic Design Data" covers the part of the software that allows unique or custom stencil design rules to be electronically programmed into the system and then automatically applied to any standard stencil data file (ie. Gerber 274x) creating a new data file that is used to produce the stencil.
 
"We are very pleased to be issued this important patent. Cookson Electronics has invested in Alpha Dimensions as a unique way of providing our customers with a highly accurate and reliable way of applying their increasingly complex stencil designs,” said Mike Murphy, Global Product Manager for stencils.  “Alpha Dimensions also gives us the ability to apply a particular customer’s design rules to stencils produced by any of our stencil manufacturing sites worldwide. This supports our customer’s ability to easily transfer production jobs between their global sites."
 
Cookson developed the system with the help of ProVision Software.
