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

Trace is an innovative PCB design platform tailored for hardware teams, guiding them from initial concept to a fully manufactured board. It integrates advanced schematic capture and PCB layout tools with smart agents that comprehend the context of hardware design. Users can articulate their project requirements in natural language, enabling Trace to conduct thorough research, produce complex multi-sheet schematics, interpret datasheets, recommend components, verify their availability in real time, arrange parts, route multi-layer boards, optimize matched-length signals, and perform essential checks like ERC and DRC along with design reviews. With a comprehensive library boasting over 30,000 symbols and footprints, the platform sources data from leading electronic distributors. Additionally, Plan Mode delves into intricate tasks, poses clarifying questions, devises a detailed action plan, and initiates execution only after receiving user approval. Moreover, TraceRules ensures that preferences regarding components, layout restrictions, and manufacturing objectives are consistently maintained throughout user interactions, facilitating a smoother design process. This comprehensive approach not only enhances efficiency but also streamlines collaboration within hardware teams.
