What is FAB 3000?

Introducing the user-friendly Gerber Editor, along with the Panelization and DFM Tool. FAB 3000 serves as a comprehensive CAM software package, perfect for anyone in need of sophisticated functions such as DRC/DFM verifications, component centroid generation, SMT stencil pad creation, and much more. It offers a complete suite of features commonly found in high-end CAM software, typically accompanied by a hefty price tag, but is available at a much more accessible cost. This adaptable program can be purchased as either a Subscription License or a Perpetual License, making it an ideal and budget-friendly option for individuals and engineering teams alike, accommodating users from novices and hobbyists to experienced PCB experts. Furthermore, its affordability guarantees that PCB engineers at any level can take advantage of its robust capabilities, empowering them to enhance their design processes effectively.

What is DipTrace?

DipTrace is professional electronic design automation software for schematic capture and printed circuit board layout, developed by Novarm Ltd and in continuous development since 2004. More than 30,000 engineers in over 50 countries use it, including teams at companies working in aerospace, defense, medical device, automotive, and industrial electronics. For organizations evaluating EDA tools, the licensing model is the main structural difference from most alternatives. DipTrace is sold under a perpetual license: purchased once, owned permanently, with no subscription, no annual maintenance fee, and no loss of access when a term expires. Five editions range from $75 to $995 per seat depending on pin count and layer requirements, and volume, network, academic, and non-profit pricing is available. Technical support is included for every user at no extra cost, including those on the free edition. The software runs entirely offline on Windows, macOS, and Linux, with no cloud dependency and no design data leaving the workstation — a requirement for many defense and medical customers. Functionally, DipTrace covers the complete design flow in a single environment: hierarchical schematic capture with electrical rule check and SPICE simulation, board layout with interactive push-and-shove editing, shape-based autorouting, differential pair and length-matched high-speed routing, real-time design rule checking, 3D preview with STEP export, and manufacturing output in Gerber X2, ODB++, IPC-2581, and NC Drill. Version 5.3 introduced a native XML project format that works identically to the binary format, allowing designs to be managed in version control systems alongside firmware and mechanical files. Component sourcing integrates Mouser pricing data and SnapEDA libraries. Migration paths exist from Altium, KiCad, Eagle, OrCAD, EasyEDA Pro, Pulsonix, and PADS.
