Auto-Interactive Routing

In the past, many PCB designers would shy away from using autorouters in their designs due to their penchant for difficult setups and questionable results. This led to many of us opting for manual hand routing to avoid the trouble and clean up. However, recent developments in auto-routing technology have allowed for a lot of saved time and effort in your design process.

Altium WP Polygon Or Plane Which Is Better

Which is better for Altium WP PCB: polygons or planes? PCB designers have two choices when implementing large copper areas for power and ground regions: polygons or planes. Users often ask which is better a polygon or a plane for implementing power and ground nets, but both design features produce similar end results. Once you’ve decided which type of structure is most useful in your PCB polygon layout, you can place the structure you need for your design using the right set of CAD tools in your PCB Read Article

Five Tips Guaranteed to Reduce PCB Design Time

Five Tips Guaranteed to Reduce PCB Design Time Most engineers and PCB designers are creatures of habit. Once a roadmap has been prepared for creating successful products, that is the road most often traveled. We often don’t have the time to experiment with new techniques or look for new, innovative ways to accomplish tasks, and while that is not always a bad thing, it does not bode well if our competitors are creating successful products faster and cheaper than we are. To maintain your Read Article
