Altium Designer is Altium’s flagship PCB design software, widely used for professional electronics development. It provides a unified environment for schematic capture, PCB layout, simulation, and manufacturing documentation, with strong integration into Altium 365 for cloud collaboration.

Core Capabilities

  • Unified Design Environment: From schematics to final Gerber files, all workflows are integrated in one platform.
  • Interactive Routing: Industry-leading routing engine for high-speed, dense layouts.
  • SPICE & Signal Integrity Analysis: Built-in simulation to validate designs without costly prototypes.
  • 3D PCB & MCAD Integration: Real-time synchronization with mechanical CAD tools for enclosure fit and assembly validation.
  • Constraint Management: Spreadsheet-like editor for managing nets, rules, and design objects.
  • Multi-board & Harness Design: Support for complex systems including rigid-flex, HDI, and harnesses.
  • Workflow Automation: Digitally managed reviews, approvals, and release processes.

Altium Designer Agile

Altium Designer Agile (Altium Agile Teams) is a cloud-based collaboration platform that integrates Altium Designer, Altium 365, and Octopart to help hardware teams design faster, manage components, and coordinate across disciplines in real time. It’s essentially Altium’s answer to scaling PCB/electronics design workflows with Agile principles, offering live data sharing, conflict-free co-authoring, and supply chain intelligence.

🔑 What Altium Agile Teams Offers

  • Unified Workspace: Connects ECAD (Altium Designer), MCAD, and PLM in one cloud environment.
  • Real-Time Collaboration: Multiple designers (up to 25) can work on the same PCB simultaneously, with up to 250 collaborators across engineering, procurement, and manufacturing.
  • Conflict-Free Co-Authoring: Avoids version clashes by allowing live schematic/layout editing.
  • Supply Chain Integration: Direct access to Octopart, SiliconExpert, and Z2Data for component pricing, availability, and lifecycle monitoring.
  • Workflow Automation: Standardizes reviews, part requests, and releases with built-in templates.
  • Requirements Management: Import and link requirements (XLS, PDF, DOC) to schematics, layouts, and BOMs for traceability.
  • Security & Compliance
