Description
OrCAD® X is a unified PCB design software platform. It offers significant improvements to ease of use, performance and automation. Our product suite includes applications for schematic, PCB layout, simulation and data management. OrCAD X Capture, a schematic design solution for electrical circuit creation and documentation, is one of OrCAD's most popular products. PSpice®, our virtual SPICE simulation engine integrated into Capture, allows you to prototype and verify your designs using industry-leading native analog, mixed signal, and advanced analysis engines. OrCAD X Presto and OrCAD X PCB editor are two PCB layout tools that allow designers to easily collaborate between ECAD/MCAD teams and build better PCBs faster. OrCAD X Presto is our new, simplified interface for novice designers, electrical engineers and PCB designers focused on quick turn PCB designs.
Description
fabPlane offers a desktop electronic design automation (EDA) environment designed for the creation and modification of printed circuit boards utilizing an AI assistant. It integrates seamlessly with KiCad, allowing users to directly access and work on existing .kicad_pro project files without the need for any importing or conversion processes. Designers are able to articulate the intended functionality of a board, outline connections, or reference other designs, employing typed tools to assess each suggested modification as a diff prior to making a decision on its acceptance or rejection. Once changes are approved, fabPlane proceeds to execute autorouting and perform design-rule verifications. The streamlined workflow encompasses checks for manufacturing, generation of output files, compilation of bills of materials, and shopping carts tailored for compatible fabrication services and component suppliers. Additionally, fabPlane is offered as a free download and is available for desktop platforms including macOS, Windows, and Linux. This tool is particularly beneficial for electronics and PCB designers, KiCad users, teams working on hardware projects, and those engaged in open-hardware initiatives, thereby catering to a wide range of professionals in the field.

Pricing Details
$107 USD/month
OrCAD X is offered in both term and perpetual licensing. Term licensing is based on a 12 month period and reduces the upfront product cost while providing access to all services. It includes support, software updates, and OrCAD X Cloud subscription. Perpetual licensing has a higher upfront cost, but allows indefinite use of the purchased version. It includes the first year of maintenance which covers support, software updates, and OrCAD X Cloud subscription. Unlike a term license maintenance must be maintained to provide continual access to support, software updates, and access to new product versions.
