Learning Hub Webinars From '0' to Gerber in 36.5 minutes

From '0' to Gerber in 36.5 minutes

See how easy it is to create a prototype from scratch, automatically generate manufacturing files and standardized documentation in only 36.5 minutes - and all of this by only using the tools included in the unified design environment of Altium Designer 20.

WE WILL SHOWCASE THE FOLLOWING:

  • Schematic entry and component selection
  • Generating a bill of material with current supplier information from the field
  • PCB-Design and board outline fitting in 3D
  • Generating manufacturing files and documentation

Discover how fast you can walk through a complete design cycle by using just one tool. All steps will be explained and showcased, right up to the generation of manufacturing and documentation files.

Collaborative product development between the Electronic and Mechanical design domains brings unique challenges. Today, most companies are still using a file-based methodology (STEP, IDF, DXF, IDX) for creating and exchanging data between the two domains. This, for the most part, requires that the entire database is exchanged multiple times, resulting in README files, marked-up PDF’s and in-person meetings to review the updates and ensure they
