Why does the PCB manufacturer always ask for a change in your PCB design?

Many a time our PCBA manufacturer calls us about a problem of the design file. Sometimes we think it is time-consuming to discuss this issue. Just want to know why they always do that.

Maybe you are frustrated about why your PCB design required to be changed on factory side, but I want to say this is a frequent and common thing in the PCBA OEM market.

Actually, they are checking on Design For Manufacturability (DFM), which can avoid lots of problems during manufacturing. It costs extra time and energy for them to run it through, but is very important to lay a solid base for further procedure.

How can I handle missing solder mask opening on PCB footprint?

I have three through-hole PCBs that are missing front and back solder mask openings for two of the components. The solder mask (usually green) is covering the front and back solder pads. All other pads for all other parts are exposed. Is there a good way to remove the solder mask so that I can solder the components to the board?
