Altium Announces CircuitMaker Platform

Latest Design News

Latest Design Resources

By DE Editors  

May 18, 2015

Altium, a provider of electronic design automation, has revealed CircuitMaker. The platform is a community-driven PCB (printed circuit board) design tool aimed at electronics designers as well as the maker community. The company is currently opening the software for beta testing.

Features in CircuitMaker address new market opportunities, the company states. These include:

  • Comprehensive PCB design technology that is built on existing Altium resources. It offers schematic-PCB integration, interactive routing and output generation tools.
  • Advanced community collaboration which enables users to design with expansive access to contributed design and component data.
  • A streamlined interface that, according to Altium, provides a minimal learning curve for PCB design.
“We’re incredibly excited to see how the CircuitMaker community will grow and evolve during this open beta program,” said Ben Jordan, product manager at Altium. “The electronics maker community has always been characterized by a very organic and collaborative growth process, and now electronics designers of all shapes and sizes have CircuitMaker with which to voice their creativity.”
