and the #1 Choice Among Engineers

“To this day, I still don’t count on getting a design right on the first try, but with design rule changes that update automatically inside Altium Designer, I’m 99% there every time, and can pretty much go straight into production. I couldn’t do that with any other tool I’ve used.”
Bil Herd,
Electronics Design Legend
“Altium has completely changed the way we design our electronics. We’ve seen productivity and output increase by 25%. Regular updates from Altium have also made significant design improvements; the team has found the features easy to learn and adopt."
Scott Gemmell,
Engineering Manager, Leica Geosystems
“Altium Designer has also reduced the design cycle of the sensor controls of our transducers from three weeks to two weeks. This is a 30% increase in efficiency. Without this tool, we would have never made our frequency converters to Bosch Rexroth’s strict environmental and performance targets."
Wang Jianyuan,
Technical Director Bosch Rexroth
