Description

ProtoFlow is an advanced electronic design automation (EDA) tool specifically designed for schematic capture and PCB design, utilizing AI technology. It allows users to describe circuits in straightforward language, which generates an editable initial draft, enabling the search for actual electronic components and their footprints, along with datasheet inspections to ensure accuracy. Users can tidy up wiring and seamlessly continue working in familiar schematic and board editors. The tool includes features such as ERC/DRC reviews, 3D board visualization, Git-backed version control with visual diffs, collaborative comments, and outputs for manufacturing, which encompass Gerber files, drill files, BOMs, and placement files. Importantly, designs are maintained as editable geometries, and it is crucial for users to double-check symbols, footprints, connections, and manufacturing details prior to production. Additionally, ProtoFlow has the capability to read and write native KiCad files, allowing for easy integration into existing EDA processes. A free plan is accessible without the need for a credit card, while paid plans offer enhanced AI capabilities. This tool is tailored for hardware engineers, makers, students, educators, researchers, and startups in the electronics sector, making it a versatile choice for various users in the field. Furthermore, its intuitive interface and collaborative features make it an ideal option for teams working on electronic projects.

Description

Engineers at leading electronics firms around the globe utilize Quilter for their design needs. Fully compatible with your pre-existing designs and libraries, Quilter ensures that all completed projects are returned in the original file format for easy inspection, modification, and export. To begin, simply design your schematic with your preferred ECAD application, such as Altium or KiCAD, and upload both your schematic and an empty board file. Quilter automatically identifies the relationships between components, allowing you to define any design constraints for your board with ease. We rigorously validate tolerances against top fabrication houses to ensure reliability. Quilter evaluates numerous candidates and confirms that every design meets design rule checks (DRCs). Once you have reviewed the options, you can select your preferred design and download the necessary files for fabrication and testing. Unlike traditional auto routers, Quilter operates more like a human designer, effectively managing all PCB design elements, including the routing of traces, placement of components, board stackup management, and the generation of custom pours. This innovative software makes the entire design process more intuitive and streamlined, enhancing productivity for engineers.
