Altium Designer & Altium Platform: Understanding the Complete PCB Design Ecosystem

Designing modern PCBs is no longer just about creating schematics and layouts. It is about working in a connected environment where design, collaboration, and project data come together throughout the complete workflow.

For students and educators, understanding this ecosystem is an important step toward seeing how professional engineering teams manage real-world PCB projects.

Altium Designer acts as the core design tool, while Altium 365 helps extend the workflow into the cloud for sharing, collaboration, feedback, and project visibility.

To understand modern PCB design with confidence, you need to see how these tools work together from concept to collaboration.


What This Webinar Explores 

In this 60-minute session, we’ll explore how Altium Designer and the Altium 365 platform work together to support the complete PCB design process. You’ll see how designs move from schematic creation to PCB layout, validation, collaboration, and final outputs within a connected design environment.

We will walk through:

  • How PCB design flows from schematic creation to board layout, validation, and final outputs
  • How Altium Designer supports schematics, PCB layouts, components, and connectivity
  • How Altium 365 helps teams access projects, share designs, and collaborate in the cloud
  • How designers, reviewers, managers, and educators interact with the same project
  • How a connected platform gives teams better visibility into design progress and feedback

Why Attend 

This session will help you understand how modern PCB tools work together as a complete design platform, not just as separate tools for schematics and layout.

You’ll gain exposure to industry-relevant workflows, learn how collaboration happens in real-world electronics design teams, and build a stronger conceptual foundation for using professional PCB design tools.


Who Should Attend

This session is for engineering students, faculty, educators, and beginners who want to better understand how complete PCB design workflows are managed in professional environments.

It is also useful for student teams working on hardware or IoT projects who want to learn how design, collaboration, and project visibility connect across the full PCB design ecosystem.
