About

Accelerate your time to market with AllSpice, enabling modern revision control and collaboration for native electronic designs. Turn those three-hour-long, in-person, and hard-to-schedule meetings into digital, asynchronous design reviews. Run your design reviews like a pull request. Automate your review packages. Generate PCB, schematic, and BOM redlines that automatically highlight your design changes. Like a software diff, but for circuits instead of code. Never make the same mistake twice. Create templates and checklists that auto-populate for new design reviews to remind you (and everyone else in your team) what to watch out for next time. Agile hardware development starts with better design reviews. Start, merge, or approve requests where you can share design updates and ask for feedback. Give people outside your team, like mechanical or firmware engineers, a web browser view of your designs.

About

Our free DesignSpark PCB is here to help your company explore more design options, leading to increased innovation. At the core of this unique software is a powerful software engine that enables you to capture schematics and design PCB boards and layouts. Our range of free-of-charge design tools and resources take your brightest ideas all the way through to final production. Whether you're looking for a design alone tool, a range of technical information, a complete design ecosystem, our complete suite can be integrated seamlessly into your existing design workflow. Be free when creating your schematic, there is no limitation on your schematic size or number of your schematic sheets. Feel free to use as many layers as you need on your next PCB design. There are no limits on the maximum number of nodes or pads and no restriction on the number of connections. The maximum size your PCB can be is 1m X 1m.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • DS PCB came from EasyPC, an already established EDA development company. The product was commercialized and rapidly improved over time, primarily targeting hobbyists and small businesses. The transition to RS Components as a "freeware" version and "PRO" offering (<$500 USD perpetual license) is seamless, as are integration features with Designspark Mech and Electrical packages. Exporting 3D files and importing into other RS Component applications is what I like most. DS PCB has EDA power for low to mid range development applications. If computational/algorithmic power is needed (high end signal analysis, simulation, thermal FSA) using 3rd party software is an option. 16 layer, blind vias, enhanced DRC, onboard signal analysis calculators also come with the package. The UI and menu organization has been simplified, easy steps to create parts and libraries, or importing from a global components database exists, the navigation of the product is easy to remember and use. Bugs, design improvements, fixes are seamless to the use, since this product is commercialized, a team of developers/programmers maintain this product regularly.

Cons

  • Autorouting for any EDA (I also use Altium) is a bear and not as computationally smart as I would like. Not too many option s for quick key short cuts for various menu items, but not an issue if one is more visually connected to their work. No integration to SPICE simulation programs. No integration to computational FSA tools. Lack of multi user collaboration tools.
