Manufacturing
Effortlessly collaborate with electronics manufacturing services
to take your product from idea to production.
Avoid Mistakes & Respins With a Smooth Handoff
Securely share version-controlled release packages with your manufacturing team or contract manufacturers. All communication is attached to the design for enhanced collaboration, traceability, and accountability.
Streamline Manual Board Assembly for Fast Prototyping
Accelerate prototype and short-run production of PCBs with a web-based assembly interface. It eliminates paper, providing low-friction access to designs and sequential assembly instructions for small batches of boards.
Unify Design, PLM & Manufacturing Data Flow
Establish a unified digital thread between Altium and your cloud PLM for bi-directional data exchange. This guarantees all teams access accurate, up-to-date product information, dramatically minimizing errors and significantly accelerating time-to-market.
Key Capabilities
Share Version-Controlled Release Packages
With a single click, manufacturers can view and comment on your output files from any browser. With all communication attached to the design, designers and manufacturers ensure traceability and a single source of truth.
Check Quality With Cross-Team Design Review
Design reviews facilitate cross-functional manufacturability checks for early collaboration with manufacturing partners. Identify issues early as a team and resolve them proactively to avoid production defects.
Assembly Interface for Access to Board Designs
Altium’s web-based assembly interface gives electronics manufacturing partners low-friction access to designs. This eliminates the need for paper print-outs and specialized ECAD software that can complicate cross-team handoffs.
Predict Supply Chain Risk & Deliver on Time
Ensure collaboration between engineering and procurement. Bidirectional data exchange provides manufacturing partners with real-time data from trusted sources. Monitor component risks, availability, and compliance as a team to avoid disruptions.
Consolidate Releases Across Different ECAD Systems
Your team can now manage all ECAD release packages in one centralized cloud platform. Altium supports a range of industry-standard ECAD formats, ensuring that the team’s manufacturing data stays organized, accessible, and ready to release.
Manufacturing Services from Trusted Altium Partners
Skip tedious manual processes for outsourced prototype production and instantly share your design with Altium's trusted manufacturing partners. Quick quotes, manufacturability checks, and direct ordering help speed time to market.
Streamline Design and Manufacturing
Integrate your existing PLM system with Altium, synchronizing critical product data for a unified digital thread, improved data accuracy, and streamlined workflows across your enterprise.

Hardware Development Manager
"We are using Altium 365 in the Manufacturing process, where we can immediately share the Bill of Materials and the updates on various versions so they can immediately know if something changed and why."
Director of Engineering
"I'm really excited about changes in the manufacturing pipeline that will allow me to capture the far more nuanced and detailed design documentation that I already make in Altium Designer, and get it to my fabricators, and be able to close the loop on that, and have that information flow back to me in a meaningful way, and get products faster, be more certain that they're gonna work the way I expect them to, and that they're actually executing to my design intent."
Electrical Engineer
"As we become more connected in this world it’s going to also enable us to be more connected between the design, procurement and manufacturing. And that’s something that’s always been siloed in history."
