Envision
The Summer 08 release of Altium Designer is significant. It introduces new features that further unify the product design process, enable design innovation and enhance productivity.

Once again, Altium is pushing the boundaries of what's possible in electronics design. New features to create device intelligence and then test it. New ways to unify electronics design with mechanical design. New ways to create PCBs. All within a single, unified design environment. More...

In today's worldwide market, designers are frustrated with the barriers created by outdated ideas of discrete design disciplines. They simply want to design superior products that beat the competition. And they want a solution that's easy to use, and that allows them to focus on designing the intelligence in their products.

The pressure to create the next generation of electronics products in less time is forcing designers to critically reassess the overall product development process from concept right through to manufacture. Fueled by the ongoing evolution of electronics technology, the pressure to produce smaller, smarter, more connected products that deliver a competitive edge in the market now means considering all parts of the product design process as a whole.

The Centre Suisse d'Electronique et de Microtechnique uses Altium Designer to bridge the E-CAD M-CAD divide.

Altium Designer allowed us to develop a complex design comprised of several printed circuit boards without any errors. Because design revisions were completely avoided, we were able to focus on making sure our project delivered all its ambitious design objectives. - Jean Luprano, Project Co-ordinator at CSEM More...
