The world’s most trusted PCB design system.

Altium Designer® offers a unified design environment, empowering engineers with a single view of every aspect of the PCB design process from schematic, to PCB layout, to design documentation. By accessing all design tools in one place, engineers can complete their entire design process within the same intuitive environment and deliver high-quality products quickly.

Unified Design Experience
Effortlessly create PCB designs with an intuitive interface that seamlessly connects you to every detail of the electronics design process from idea to manufacture.

Unified Data Model
Compile projects to create a single, cohesive model which can sit central to the design process. Easily Access and manipulate detailed data within the model (schematic, layout, simulation) from this central model rather than storing separate data for each design element.

Seamless ECAD/MCAD Integration
Every design change stays in sync between Altium Designer and SOLIDWORKS®, PTC Creo® Parametric™, Autodesk Inventor® or Autodesk Fusion 360®. ECAD and MCAD designers work in their familiar environments with no cumbersome file exchanges or manual conversions required.
