Altium CoDesigner Customers Accelerate Electronic Product Design Through ECAD and MCAD Collaboration

August 6, 2021

San Diego, August 3, 2021: Electronic products are more than just printed circuit boards (PCBs).  PCB designers create the boards (components, copper traces, silkscreens) in the context of a specific device. They have to closely collaborate with the mechanical engineers who define the shape of boards and their enclosures, including mounting holes and the placement of critical components, to have the confidence that everything will fit exactly as planned when it goes to manufacturing.

When PCB designers and mechanical engineers work together to design electronic products, they often struggle to keep their work coordinated because they use completely different … Read More → "Altium CoDesigner Customers Accelerate Electronic Product Design Through ECAD and MCAD Collaboration"
