What is DesignSpark PCB?

We are excited to present our free DesignSpark PCB, a tool aimed at expanding your design capabilities and encouraging innovative breakthroughs. This remarkable software operates on a powerful engine that simplifies the process of creating schematics as well as designing PCB layouts and boards. With numerous free design tools and resources available, you can effortlessly transition your most ingenious ideas into production. Whether you're looking for a design-specific tool, a wealth of technical resources, or a holistic design ecosystem, our extensive suite integrates smoothly into your current workflow. Enjoy the liberty to develop your schematics without any limitations on size or the number of sheets, enabling maximum creative expression. You can also take advantage of an unrestricted number of layers in your next PCB project, with no limits imposed on nodes, pads, or connections. The sole restriction is that your PCB must fit within dimensions of 1m by 1m, giving you sufficient room to realize your visions. This flexibility empowers designers to transcend traditional limits and investigate new avenues of creativity, inspiring a culture of innovation. Ultimately, DesignSpark PCB serves as a catalyst for turning imaginative concepts into tangible realities.

What is Altium Develop?

Altium Develop brings together engineers, developers, and manufacturing partners in a single connected workspace. By integrating design tools with real-time collaboration, it ensures that every stakeholder—from hardware and software teams to supply chain managers—can contribute at the right moment. The platform eliminates silos by linking requirements, component data, and production insights directly to the design process. With early visibility and seamless feedback loops, organizations can reduce errors, cut rework costs, and move from idea to finished product more efficiently.
