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 Develop?
Altium Develop is a collaborative electronics product development platform that helps organizations manage requirements, PCB design, engineering collaboration, and manufacturing readiness from a single workspace.
By connecting Requirements Portal, Altium Designer, and Altium 365, Altium Develop improves visibility across the product lifecycle and helps teams reduce delays caused by disconnected tools, manual processes, and siloed data.
Business Benefits:
•Improve cross-functional collaboration between engineering and operations teams
•Maintain traceability from requirements through delivery
•Accelerate PCB and hardware development projects
• Reduce errors and rework through centralized workflows
• Improve supply chain and BOM visibility
• Support distributed and global engineering teams
Altium Develop is a strong option for organizations comparing solutions such as Autodesk Fusion Electronics, KiCad, Cadence OrCAD, SOLIDWORKS PCB, and Siemens Xpedition, particularly when requirements management, collaboration, and hardware development process maturity are key evaluation criteria.
