Learning Hub Webinars From Prototype to Production: Fast-Track Your PCBA Manufacturing Process

Start Transforming Your PCB Design and Production Workflows

From Prototype to Production: Fast-Track Your PCBA Manufacturing Process

Join us to learn how our new app, Altimade, integrates with our partner, MacroFab, to enhance your design precision, streamline production processes, and reduce market lead times. Leverage a connected technology platform that utilizes AI-powered quotes, real-time supply chain visibility, and IoT-enabled data analysis to optimize every phase of your electronics product development, from initial design to final production.

What You Will Learn

  • Overcome the pitfalls of traditional PCB prototyping with Altimade integrated within the Altium 365 environment.
  • Hear real-world success stories demonstrating the impact of Altimade on production efficiency.
  • Smoothy transitions from prototyping to production, directly moving your designs into the manufacturing phase.
  • Simplify procurement with a direct ordering system, reducing time spent on manual entries and potential errors.
  • Leverage Altimade for instant manufacturability checks, ensuring designs are optimized for production before submission, significantly reducing rework and delays.
  • Discover tools that enhance communication between design and manufacturing teams, fostering a collaborative environment that speeds up decision-making and increases efficiency.
  • See how the combined power of Altimade and MacroFab speeds up the production cycle and ensures more predictable scheduling and cost estimation.
  • Protect your data throughout the design and production process, maintaining confidentiality and integrity.
