Case studies

  • eSolar - powers up design by using Altium Designer to create digital controllers that manage solar power stations.
  • Photometrics - Senior CAD Design Engineer, David Rappaport was assigned to discover an electronics design solution that could seamlessly transition both Photometrics and Q-Imaging’s design database and libraries into a system that complemented both parties.
  • Siemens - By electing to move the major electronic design tasks in-house, the challenge for Siemens Karlsruhe S&T was to find a design system that would provide the latest technology and design techniques -- such as efficient FPGA pin optimization -- while offering low TCO and high productivity.
  • BAE Systems - World leading developer of HF radar technology, BAE Systems Australia uses Altium Designer to create cutting-edge signal systems for Australia's unique Over The Horizon surveillance radar.
  • BAB Electronik - Halving development time, doubling monthly throughput: Altium's MCAD ECAD collaboration is "the best thing that has happened to electronics since the invention of the transistor!"
  • Gryphon Systems Engineering - before Gryphon Systems Engineering migrated to Altium Designer, Peter was finding that the high cost of prototyping FPGA designs was a real barrier to utilizing their power for small run novel technologies.
  • SpaceX - Since incorporating Altium Designer into its production process, SpaceX has found the design process has simplified. Altium’s unified system offers a much greater level of version control than its previous toolset and now SpaceX can better manage its ongoing design development.
  • ITT - Division management reports that engineers new to Altium Designer can typically be working with the system within half a day and the intuitive, unified design flow is allowing development engineers to contribute more to the design while increasing their productivity.
