6 Reasons to Switch Design Tools

No PCB design should be out of your reach! Whether you’re designing a single PCB or a complex system with multiple circuit boards. Altium Designer’s powerful single application provides you with a no-compromise experience for every step of your design journey.

Come see how Altium Designer, the industry standard for PCB design, combined with Altium 365 delivers the world’s first connected PCB design experience.

This live webinar will cover:

  • How Collaboration, Design Reuse, and our Unified Design environment can help you work from anywhere and connect with anyone throughout the design process
  • How powerful part search can enhance your ability to make informed component decisions as you design
  • How BOM management can help reduce parts obsolescence issues
  • How High-Speed Design is made easy
  • How you can go beyond file-based exchange with and native ECAD/MCAD collaboration capabilities
  • How seamlessly integrated documentation, and output data templates can save you time every day

28:11 Using Version Control in Your PCB Project Webinar Version control has been a staple of software development for decades, but hardware development can benefit just as much from a version control system (VCS). Traditionally, VCS has been managed locally tying you down to a workplace, but advances in cloud technology have removed that limitation. Learn how Altium 365 cloud technology enables working concurrently on designs with built-in version control and evaluate its advantages: Overview of Watch Video
24:31 Discover the Benefits of Altium 365 Version Control for Solo Designers with Ari Mahpour Are you a solo electronics designer or engineer looking to optimize your design process and boost productivity? We invite you to join our upcoming webinar featuring Altium’s expert Ari Mahpour, engineer with a broad experience in designing, manufacturing, testing, and integrating electrical, mechanical, and software systems.

How Breville Innovates 4x Faster with Altium Breville is an Australian company founded in Sydney in 1932. It is best known for its home appliances, specifically blenders, coffee machines, toasters, kettles, microwaves, and toaster ovens. The fast-paced consumer electronics business requires a high degree of flexibility and speed, which is why Breville decided to invest in tools that can help them scale and innovate quicker. In just a couple of weeks, Breville's team was able to get up and Watch Video
43:14 Altium 365: ECAD-MCAD Collaboration Pretty much every printed circuit board assembly ends up in some kind of mechanical enclosure or fixed to a chassis, making collaboration between the ECAD and MCAD domains critical to success. People thought we were crazy when we changed the industry with a 3D PCB editor. Eventually, our competitors tried their best to duplicate this industry-first innovation. Watch an on-demand webinar to learn how Altium 365 will change the industry yet again Watch Video
35:23 Altium 365: Real-Time Sharing and Collaboration Whether you are an individual designer or a team of people, there are always others in the value chain that you rely on to turn your design from intent to reality. Making this happen means you have to collaborate and share. One of the problems is that the way this is done today can be cumbersome, error-prone and inefficient — we haven’t progressed much beyond phone calls and emails, until now.
