Design Intuitively
and Intelligently
Precision and speed are essential for meeting challenging electronics design requirements and tight timelines.
Altium Designer is an integrated, user-friendly tool incorporating everything from schematics and layout to simulation and analysis so you can meet design requirements and tight timelines effortlessly.
Create electronic designs from schematic capture to final design documentation and manufacturing files – all in one intuitive interface and unified data model.
Efficiently route high-speed electronics and dense layouts at any angle with an industry-leading interactive routing engine.
Accelerate placement and routing with reusable blocks, snippets, and layout replication for repeated circuitry while keeping schematic and PCB fragments synchronized to minimize errors.
Perform SPICE simulations, resolve power issues without relying on expensive prototypes, and analyze signal integrity, all within Altium Designer.
Collaborate
and Connect
Seamlessly
Effective collaboration, seamless connectivity, and resource optimization are keys to success in electronic product development.
Altium Designer connects PCB designers to their colleagues through Altium Develop, Altium Agile Teams and Altium Agile Enterprise, enabling real-time co-creation and access to a range of tools for modern electronic systems design.
Speed up layout design by involving more than one Engineer to design different parts of the same PCB simultaneously.
Seamlessly design electronic products by managing multiboard PCB interconnects in one environment, validating 3D assembly, and accelerating release with MCAD synchronization.
Elevate your design process to unparalleled levels of efficiency, transparency and innovation using digitally managed workflows configurable to how your organization wants to work.
Enable real-time design feedback and task coordination directly within the project - no emails, no guesswork, no missed details.
Connect your ECAD solution with the most popular MCAD tools, Ansys simulation experts, and PLM systems to seamlessly exchange data and reduce costly and time-consuming rework.
Design harnesses directly within the familiar Altium environment you already use for your PCB and electronics design.
Tackle Any
Design Complexity
Electronic designs vary in complexity, posing challenges such as rigid-flex layouts, HDI structures, and 3D integration.
From basic circuits to advanced PCB projects, Altium Designer empowers engineers with rule management, advanced routing, and 3D-MID design, enabling them to efficiently navigate complexities and control costs.
Intuitively manage an increasing number of nets and design objects to ensure design performance and requirements are met with a spreadsheet-like, object-based constraint editor.
Offers comprehensive wire bonding tools directly accessible from PCB layouts and libraries, ensuring rule compliance and design precision.
Enable accurate design and visualization of HDI structures so you can create layouts with smaller components, tighter traces, and improved performance.
Explore a new world of design possibilities with the latest manufacturing technology that enables a world of non-planar, more compact and integrated electronic designs.
Create precise rigid-flex layouts with configurable substacks, controlled bends, and true 3D visualization with MCAD synchronization to ensure fit, reduce risk, and streamline manufacturing.
Manage, Access,
and Sync Your Data
Effective PCB design demands meticulous data management, encompassing libraries, schematics, layouts, and mechanical elements.
Powered by cloud-enabled synchronization, Altium Designer offers secure, version-controlled data management and real-time component information, reducing risks and enhancing manufacturability decisions.
Know who made changes to a project, when, and why with a complete project history and visual change comparison between schematics, layouts, BOMs, and gerbers.
Centralize and streamline your library management workflow with templates, lifecycles, and where-used capabilities, plus monitor for issues like supply chain risks or inaccurate part details.
Confidently choose parts with real-time insights for pricing, availability, and risk assessments from industry-leading supply chain data providers
