Work Smarter, Not Harder by Switching to Altium Designer® from SOLIDWORKS® PCB
- Specifically designed to provide a comprehensive suite of tools tailored to the unique and complex needs of EDA and PCB design.
- An integrated environment that seamlessly connects schematic design, PCB layout, and manufacturing preparation to ensure design continuity.
- Advanced simulation and signal integrity analysis tools, allowing designers to test and optimize their designs for performance and reliability.
- Create manufacturing documentation and detailed bills of materials.
- Collaborate by sharing, commenting and with 24/7 access to a project history.
Bill HerdElectronics Design Legend"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."
Wang JianyuanMechatronics Engineer, Woodoo"Altium Designer is a very unique PCB software system because everything you need is all in one place. The unified design environment is unlike any other tool I’ve seen."
Nicolas FurnemontTechnical Director, Bosch Rexroth“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.”
