Assembly App

The Assembly App helps reduce the time and increase the accuracy of the manual assembly of printed-circuit boards (prototypes or short runs). We specifically designed this app for manual assembly. It combines relevant design data, 2D and 3D board views, detailed BOM information, and the controls to track progress in one app.

Reuse Blocks and Snippets
 
Now, you can build reusable circuits that you only need to validate once, which you can easily reintegrate into your projects in Altium Designer. It is also much easier to organize storage and find blocks to reuse in your Altium 365 workspace, eliminating the need to find, copy, and paste circuitry from existing designs.
