Description

Altium Develop is a collaborative platform for modern electronics engineering teams that connects requirements management, PCB design, systems engineering, and manufacturing workflows. Built on Altium Designer and Altium 365, the platform provides a centralized environment for design collaboration, requirements traceability, BOM management, supply chain visibility, and engineering change management. Altium Develop helps hardware organizations maintain alignment between requirements, design decisions, and manufacturing outcomes while supporting distributed engineering teams through cloud-based collaboration. Core Features: • PCB design collaboration • ECAD-MCAD co-design workflows • Component and supply chain visibility • BOM and engineering change management • Design review and approval workflows • Cloud-native team collaboration • Requirements management and traceability Used by electronics teams building complex PCB-based products, Altium Develop is frequently evaluated alongside Cadence OrCAD, Cadence Allegro, Autodesk Fusion Electronics, KiCad, Siemens Xpedition, and SOLIDWORKS PCB for organizations seeking greater collaboration and lifecycle visibility across hardware development programs.

Description

The use of 3D visualization and documentation in manufacturing data plays a crucial role in reducing defects and production delays. DFMStream® is an intuitive and comprehensive toolset that enables engineers and designers to analyze, verify, and optimize printed circuit board (PCB) designs for effective manufacturing outcomes. This tool evaluates design and manufacturing rules across PCB design databases, Gerber files, and NC data at any point during the PCB design phase. Furthermore, DFMStream enhances collaboration between engineers/designers and fabricators. Even if PCB designs pass the standard design rule checks within the PCB CAD system, they can still harbor significant issues that can impede a smooth transition to manufacturing and assembly. Often, these issues are uncovered just before production begins, as design data undergoes processing for PCB manufacturing or assembly. Such flaws frequently lead to expensive delays in bringing products to market, necessitating design revisions and reprocessing to resolve problems identified in the pre-production stage. By utilizing DFMStream, teams can proactively address potential design issues, ultimately streamlining the production process and improving time-to-market efficiency.
