Altium Designer and Altium 365 Overview

In this webinar, we will show you how easy and fast it is with Altium Designer in combination with Altium 365 to create a prototype from scratch, cooperate with mechanical tools and automatically generate manufacturing files and standardized documentation. All of this by only using the tools included in the unified design environment of Altium Designer and the cloud base data management system Altium 365.

We will showcase the following:

  • Schematic entry and component selection
  • Solving obsolete component issues
  • Generating a bill of material with current supplier information -from the market
  • PCB-Design and Co-Design with mechanical tools
  • Generating manufacturing files and documentation
