Hello, Welcome to the Altium Learning Hub

Most designers don't build their own panels, unless they grab a template from a PCB manufacturer and fill in the details by hand. In Altium, there is a tool that will allow you to arrange boards into a panel, called the Embedded Board Array. You could use this to estimate the number of boards per panel in a production run, or to design your own panel for hand assembly. If you want to build your own panel and detach boards yourself, you will need...

We are excited to introduce Altium Designer 24: a game-changing advancement in PCB design and connected data. With focus on enhancing efficiency, fostering collaboration, and overcoming the ever-growing challenges of complex product requirements, this release elevates electronics design to unprecedented levels. Join our upcoming webinar, hosted by Alex Hall, Technical Marketing Engineer at Altium, to discover how Altium Designer is no longer a...

Altium, a leading global developer of software for electronics design, and Keysight, one of the leading and well-known global developers of simulation software and measuring equipment manufacturer, invite you to participate in a joint webinar Analyzing Your Power Networks in Altium Designer powered by Keysight. Today’s increasingly dense and complex designs combined with tighter logic-level noise margins are increasingly susceptible to power...

Dive into the future of collaborative PCB design with Altium's latest feature, the PCB CoDesign tool in AD24! In this exciting episode of the Altium OnTrack Podcast, our host, Zach Peterson, sits down with Wojciech Łaś, Product Manager at Altium, to explore the ins and outs of this innovative tool. Discover how the PCB CoDesign tool allows multiple designers to work on the same PCB layout simultaneously, extending Altium's version control system...

We’re in the age of digital and there are very few technologies that go untouched by the semiconductor supply chain. As computers (and devices in general) become smarter, a concrete supply of semiconductors is required to accelerate digitalization in a number of industries. Considering 2023 is yet to close, the industry is set to grow despite a recent dip in supply. Semiconductor industry sales growth with projection into 2024. As more demand...

Working between the Electronic and Mechanical design domains brings unique challenges. ECAD and MCAD tools have different design objectives and have evolved down different paths, and so has the way they store and manage their design and project data. Today's designs of small and complex product enclosures that house multiple, irregular-shaped printed circuit boards (PCB), demand that this challenge be solved. To successfully design these...

Welcome to the third part of the open-source laptop lid assembly design! In the last installment, we looked at one possible way to integrate the webcam module and all the connected sensors into the bezel of the laptop lid. We have identified several challenges with the approach presented in the previous article. The additional assembly and manufacturing complexity associated with using a flexible PCB led us to another option using only a rigid...
