Upverter Launches Cloud-Engineering Platform

By DE Editors

Upverter has released a new version of its cloud-engineering platform for rapid hardware design. New features center on physical design and prototype manufacturing.

The new features include PCB layout, footprint generation, and manufacturing Gerber file export; simulation, design rule checking and verification; prototype manufacturing, bill-of-material management, and order fulfillment; improved part maintenance and the addition of generic parts; improved community exploration and design discovery; and improved net layout and auto-routing features.

"We believe that we all have the capacity to create revolutionary products. All it takes is aligning our energies towards a common goal. Yet most products don't ship on time; the friction of collaboration, of communication, of getting access, and of the tools themselves all get in the way," said Zak Homuth, co-founder and CEO of Upverter. "To take the next step in product development, we needed a fresh start. We created Upverter to help take that step; to improve the productivity of design teams, to ship product ahead of schedule."
