Design Smarter - Harness, Multi-board, and MCAD CoDesign in Action

In today's rapidly evolving electronics industry, the absence of integrated ECAD-MCAD workflows can lead to misaligned designs, outdated iterations, and costly errors. Without seamless collaboration between electrical and mechanical design teams, manual file transfers introduce inefficiencies and inconsistencies, jeopardizing the integrity of complex electromechanical systems.

Are you ready to enhance your product design process and eliminate these challenges? By adopting Altium Designer 25 with a Pro or Enterprise subscription, you gain access to Harness and Multi-board Design capabilities, and the advanced MCAD CoDesigner, a powerful tool that enables bidirectional synchronization between Altium Designer and leading MCAD platforms like SolidWorks, PTC Creo, and Autodesk Inventor.

Join our upcoming webinar to explore:

  • Integrating harness designs with accurate component connectivity
  • Optimizing multi-board systems through precise enclosure compatibility and collision checks
  • Implementing seamless ECAD-MCAD synchronization techniques

Don't miss this opportunity to learn how you can elevate your PCB design capabilities with Altium Designer 25.
