What is BluePrint-PCB?

BluePrint-PCB® works in perfect harmony with your PCB CAD software and/or CAM350® to expedite the creation of intricate electronic drawings vital for PCB production, assembly, and inspection processes. This cutting-edge solution acknowledges its role in producing a PCB document, enabling it to swiftly import the entire PCB CAD database in a single operation, which in turn facilitates the automatic generation and linkage of numerous PCB views and details while maintaining design fidelity and overcoming the challenges often encountered with both PCB and mechanical CAD systems. As a result, this approach yields a thorough electronic document that provides clearer guidance for streamlined PCB manufacturing. It automates the creation of PCB views, details, and tables sourced from PCB CAD information, effectively removing the limitations associated with conventional PCB CAD tools without compromising on design intelligence. By harnessing PCB intelligence, it generates standardized drawing elements that lead to dynamic and interactive documentation enriched with hyperlinks and multimedia features. Additionally, all pertinent information related to PCB assembly can be neatly gathered into a single electronic "release package," ensuring that essential materials for production are easily accessible. This enhancement not only simplifies the workflow but also fosters improved collaboration among team members engaged in the PCB manufacturing journey, ultimately leading to more efficient project outcomes. Such integration encourages innovation and adaptability in PCB design processes, making it a valuable asset for modern engineering teams.

What is Altium Designer?

Altium Designer® provides a cohesive design platform that is the result of more than 35 years of continuous innovation and enhancement. It encompasses everything from schematic creation to PCB layout, interactive differential pair routing, design documentation, and smooth integration between ECAD and MCAD, giving engineers a comprehensive perspective on all facets of the PCB design journey. This all-in-one approach allows engineers to utilize a singular, user-friendly environment to manage their entire design workflow efficiently, enabling the rapid delivery of high-quality products. Among its many features, Altium Designer includes stackup planning, anonymous sharing, effective data management, 3D visualization capabilities, multi-board assembly support, comprehensive documentation options, and output configuration tools. Additionally, with the introduction of Altium 365, users gain the flexibility to access the software either online or through on-premises installations, enhancing collaboration and accessibility for design teams. Overall, the platform's robust capabilities make it a valuable asset for engineers aiming to streamline their workflow and optimize productivity.
