Altium 365: ECAD-MCAD Collaboration

Created: April 3, 2020
Updated: May 21, 2020

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 by leveraging the power of the cloud to go beyond file-based exchange between MCAD and ECAD.
