Hello, Welcome to the Altium Learning Hub

The complexity of electronics design has outpaced traditional methods for requirements management. From what we see, 30 to 50 percent of development teams still track requirements with spreadsheets or basic text documents, while others resort to adding notes directly onto designs or using task management tools like Jira.  This fragmented approach–with requirements scattered across multiple systems and teams–creates significant risk as products...

When you are in the middle of a product development cycle or validating a remedy for a recurring field problem, you may plan or, out of necessity, decide to assemble a few PCBs manually. There are times when the manual assembly of boards in-house yields results faster than any other alternative, and many companies include such assembly in their product development lifecycle. A typical process for manual assembly includes printing out the design...

Getting design files to customers used to require a thumb drive, DVD-RW, or emails before we had the cloud. Even though today’s cloud platforms are immaculately secure and they allow a range of files to be easily shared, there are times where you should limit the data you’re sharing to only the critical files required. For PCB designers, this means either sharing entire design projects or sharing individual files with your manufacturer, customers...

Printed circuit boards are fun to design and lay out, but a PCB will need an enclosure to hold it mechanically stable. PCB enclosures can be purchased off-the-shelf, or you can create a custom enclosure design using MCAD software. No matter which route you take to create your enclosure, you’ll need to import your PCB layout into MCAD tools to ensure your board and components will not interfere with the enclosure. When you’re working with a...

If you have experience working on PCB design teams, either in a single location or remotely, you've probably seen your share of successful and failed projects. Any project can fail or be severely delayed for a variety of reasons, and sometimes, the stars must align to ensure everything is delivered on time and under budget. Even after making many mistakes that caused project delays and fragmented team members, I'm still learning what it takes to...
