Every Capability, One Connected Platform

img

Design

From schematic capture to manufacturing-ready layout

img
Design, Route, and Validate

Design with real-time validation built in. Capture your schematic, route your board, and validate in one environment. Multi-board, harness, and rigid-flex included.

Review Designs in Any Browser

Anyone you invite can open a design in a browser to inspect, comment, and approve. No installs or licenses required, so reviews start sooner, feedback lands in context, and decisions stay attached to the design.

Eliminate File Exchanges with ECAD-MCAD CoDesign

Synchronize PCB designs with SOLIDWORKS, Creo, Inventor, and Fusion 360. Keepouts, rooms, and copper geometry stay aligned across tools, so electrical and mechanical work proceed in parallel with fewer handoffs.

Detect Signal Integrity Issues

Catch impedance deviations, reflections, and transmission losses in high-speed nets during layout. Signal Analyzer, powered by Keysight, helps fix issues before fabrication.

Supply Chain Management

Unified data for engineering and procurement

img
Build the BOM Everyone Works From

BOMs are enriched with live pricing, availability, lifecycle, and compliance data. Engineering and procurement share one document, consolidate parts across projects, and order in a few clicks.

Access Live Data on 95+ Million Parts

Verified specs, lifecycle status, and compliance data from Octopart and IHS Markit keep designs current. See pricing and stock from hundreds of distributors, updated daily.

Analyze Component Risk with SiliconExpert

An optional SiliconExpert add-on covers more than a billion parts across 15,000+ suppliers. Get years-to-end-of-life forecasts, obsolescence flags, and multi-sourcing risk analysis for every BOM line.

Manage Supply Chain Risk with Z2Data

Monitor supply chain disruptions and score supplier risk with the Z2Data add-on. Automatically find alternate parts based on availability, obsolescence, origin, and sustainability.

Requirements

Complete Traceability from Spec to Test

img
Manage Requirements Alongside Your Design

Stop managing requirements in spreadsheets. Altium's AI assistant imports and breaks down requirements, linking them to designs and BOMs so teams can track verification coverage.

Plan and Track Verification Coverage

Define verification methods, link each requirement to its evidence, and generate traceability matrices and reports from live project data in minutes.

Track Every Requirement Change

Every requirement keeps a full change history, so teams always work from the current spec and every change traces back to its source.

Turn Requirements into Reusable Parameters

Numerical requirements become reusable parameters that automatically check performance against targets. Specs and calculations stay in sync, nothing rekeyed.

Engineering Management

Structured processes 
with real-time visibility

img
Customize Workflows for Your Team

Formalize design reviews, part requests, and lifecycle approvals with configurable workflows. Each step assigns owners and captures decisions, so processes run consistently with a full record.

Synchronize Tasks Bi-Directionally with Jira

Tasks, comments, and statuses sync automatically between Altium and Jira. Engineers update issues without leaving the design environment while project managers track progress in Jira.

Catch Delays Before They Escalate

Guided tools get new team members productive quickly. An environment built around how engineers work makes adoption easy and ramp time short.

Onboard New Engineers Faster

Numerical requirements become reusable parameters that automatically check performance against targets. Specs and calculations stay in sync, nothing rekeyed.

Data Management

See what changed, who 
changed it, and why

img
Manage Components from a Centralized Library

Components live in a managed library with lifecycle states, consistent templates, and visibility into which designs use each part. Approval workflows keep symbols and footprints validated.

Manage Designs from Any ECAD Tool

Import projects from OrCAD, KiCad, Eagle, and PADS with full version control. Teams can then review, comment, and build managed BOMs without additional ECAD licenses.

Compare Revisions and Roll Back Safely

Visual diffs show what changed between revisions of schematics, layouts, and BOMs. See who edited what and when, then roll back or pull release history for audits.

Reuse Proven Design Blocks

Promote verified schematics, blocks, and templates into a reusable catalog so teams pull proven content into new projects instead of redrawing it.

img

IT Security

Identity governance, compliance support, and access visibility

img
Support ITAR and EAR Compliance with GovCloud

Altium 365 GovCloud hosts regulated design data in a US-based environment built to help meet ITAR and EAR obligations. IP whitelisting, single sign-on, and SIEM integration let security teams enforce and verify policy.

Control Who Accesses Every Design File

Enterprise-grade permissions, guest workflows, and SIEM integration ensure only the right people access the right data, without slowing your team down.

Manage Identity Across Your Organization

SSO and SCIM integration automate user governance so access policies stay consistent as your team grows.

Encrypt and Protect Sensitive Design Data

IP whitelisting, encryption, and data loss prevention policies safeguard sensitive files. SOC 2 compliance keeps your environment audit-ready.

img

Manufacturing

From release package to assembled board

img
Build Prototypes Faster with Assembly Assistant

Assembly Assistant replaces paper printouts with a web interface for hand-building prototypes. Sequential instructions appear with 2D and 3D board views, BOM details, and progress tracking.

Get Instant Quotes from Vetted Manufacturers

Altimade sends your release package to a vetted manufacturing network for instant quotes, manufacturability checks, and ordering. All from the design environment, no file exports required.

Continuous Sync with Your PLM

The cloud PLM connector syncs parts, metadata, and released files between Altium and your cloud PLM system in both directions. Engineers publish with one click, and a structured ECAD BOM is automatically generated.

Generate a Complete Manufacturing Package

From one source, generate every output a manufacturer needs, including Gerbers, ODB++, IPC-2581, drawings, and BOMs. Each stays tied to the design release, so handoffs match what was approved.
