    AltiumLive 2020 goes “Virtual” Like most events in 2020, Altium is transitioning our annual flagship conference, AltiumLive, to an online experience this year. We will host our North American event from October 6-8, and our European event from October 20-22, 2020. And the best part is...it’s free to attend! While nothing can duplicate the experience of a live event or being physically together, we are busy planning ways to deliver our unique AltiumLive experience in the first Read Article
    Rocketing into the Future with Apollo Fusion and Altium Space is a uniquely punishing environment, from extreme temperatures to high levels of radiation. Anything designed to operate in space has to be more than just tough—it has to be virtually indestructible. Apollo Fusion, a Bay Area startup, develops propulsion systems for satellites that provide global connectivity. Their Power Processing Units (PPUs) are built with the uniquely harsh environment in mind, rugged and radiation-tolerant for ongoing Read Article
    To Say Thank You to All Our Users We've Launched a Refer-a-Friend Program As some of our users might have noticed, we were running a survey on the Altium Designer home page (available in Altium Designer 20 and up) for a few months. The survey asked Altium Designer users, "How likely are you to recommend Altium Designer to friends and colleagues?" (with ten meaning extremely likely). The vast majority of users responded with 9 and 10. We were quite overwhelmed with this positive feedback. Thank you to all who Read Article
    23:57 6 Steps to Master Project Storage Access to your design files is critical for the success of your design process. Whether you are working with internal team members, or sharing design files with external vendors, maintaining all of your design data in a single place ensures consistency and accessibility. The problem with local storage is that it difficult to provide access to external stakeholders, and the files can be easily corrupted or lost. Altium 365 provides a secure cloud Watch Video
    29:01 Editing Your PCB Geometry with MCAD Tools You need to define your PCB geometry in the context of your enclosure. If your board cannot physically be assembled into the final product, it doesn't matter how well laid out it is electrically. This webinar focuses on how the MCAD CoDesigner allows you to edit your PCB in the context of a higher-level assembly, allowing you to respect the relevant mechanical constraints. Topics covered include: Defining the board outline geometry in MCAD Watch Video
    How Calumet Electronics Joined the Fight Against COVID-19 With Altium 365 The town of Calumet, with a population of barely seven-hundred, was once the booming epicenter of Michigan’s upper peninsula mining industry. When the industry began to fail, unemployment skyrocketed, and the townspeople sought local solutions for creating jobs that could sustain the town’s families. Rob Cooke, Director of Engineering Services at Calumet Electronics Corp, joins the OnTrack podcast to discuss the Open Source Ventilator project Read Article

    22:14 8 Reasons to Store Your Components in Altium 365 Working with local libraries seems like a simple solution, but we often don’t take into account the added time spent maintaining libraries and sharing them between team members. There is no good way to avoid duplicate efforts with component creation and no standardization to ensure consistent naming. Worst of all, there is no way to identify the latest component revision, and library files can be easily corrupted or misplaced. This webinar Watch Video
