About

Altium Develop is a collaborative electronics product development platform that connects requirements management, PCB design, engineering collaboration, supply chain visibility, and manufacturing workflows in a single environment. Built on Altium Designer®, Altium 365®, and Requirements Portal, Altium Develop helps electronics teams manage the entire hardware development lifecycle—from requirements definition and design reviews to BOM management, sourcing, and production readiness. Designed for organizations developing complex electronic products, Altium Develop enables engineering, systems, manufacturing, and product teams to collaborate in real time while maintaining end-to-end visibility and traceability across projects. Key Capabilities: • Real-time collaboration for PCB and hardware development teams • ECAD-MCAD collaboration and design review workflows • Component, BOM, and supply chain management • Change management and project coordination • Centralized design data and product lifecycle visibility • Cloud-based collaboration for distributed engineering teams • Requirements management and traceability through Requirements Portal Ideal for: • Electronics manufacturers • PCB design teams • Systems engineering organizations • Product development teams • Enterprise hardware development programs Organizations evaluating alternatives to Autodesk Fusion Electronics, KiCad, Cadence OrCAD, Xpedition, Allegro X, and SOLIDWORKS PCB use Altium Develop to improve collaboration, reduce rework, accelerate product development, and strengthen requirements-driven hardware development processes.

About

More than 1 million real-time updated components have been created, letting you focus on the design, and you can create or import your own common libraries. Benefit from China’s leading electronic components distributor - LCSC , EasyEDA supports direct links to more than 200,000 real-time, in-stock components at LCSC . Designers can refer to stocks, prices, and order at any time during design. It has the same features as the online version, and has more design areas, we have made a lot of improvements, recommended. Easy to use. If you have used other PCB tools then you can use it even more quickly. Light weight, less resource hungry, smoother experience, speed up your design. No activation, just register and login to use, no licensing required. Local backup automatically with document recovery at any time. Your files will also be saved on the cloud server, giving you double backup for you data security.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • The best thing about this software is its all in one quality, like you do not have to go to 10 different apps just to build one PCB its all in one and that the reason its famous in industry level manufacturing or in other areas as well. really liked it.
  • As a beginner, this is great to learn because of the course Altium provides with this. The cloud support is genuinely great to use and having version control is amazing as well.
  • Component libraries and manufacturer parts search means we can find the components we need with manufacturer approved footprints and have them in our design in seconds. ActiveBOM is also an excellent tool for helping us pinpoint which components are facing obsolescence or shortages so we can plan accordingly
  • The availability and scope of Altium tutorials and Support documentation is a great help when getting started with Altium. Altiums Support Ticket system team have are fast and efficient when responding to our issues. Altium Provides great Collaboration Tools. The Ability to review, provide feedback and share design data with ease to Colleagues and external parties is very efficient. Altium 365 Enhances this even more. Altium provides an abundance of tools and features that can be used to design complex HDI PCBs. The tools for impedance control, length tuning and Blind and Buried vias are easy to set up and use.
  • Ease of use, A365 feature, cloud connectivity, ability to view designs via a browser. Advanced features to allow for great PCB design
  • The feature set is extensive, and we are able to produce designs very quickly indeed. The routing tools are also incredibly powerful, and it just makes the job so much easier overall.
  • I like how Altiun is integrated very well unto one tool, allowing you to design the schematic and the layout from very simple PCBs all the way to complex, multi-pcb system. I have used Altium since Altium 14.0, and they have come a long way in terms of abilities and usefulness. They are my favorite ECAD software for PCB design.
  • The pour manager is much nicer to deal with. Very handy to enable/disable as necessary to declutter during design. Impedance planning in board stack is very helpful. The outjob process lends itself to automation MUCH better than PADS. Parameter manager is MUCH nicer way to review fields for all of the parts in your design, so you can tidy them up in a uniform way. The rules manager is very cool once you start digging into it. This especially does not always follow documentation, but setting things up can drastically cut down layout time once you set things up.
  • Industry standard in power electronics, basic functions work without any problems, overall very stable and we design all our PCBs with this software
  • Easy and intuitive UI. The library set and its management. A comprehensive DRC set of features and its interface. The community that uses Altium. A standard in the electronics industry.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Free and powerful. I designed my circuits very easy. It's amazing very easy useful. It supports simulation steps.

Cons

  • The simulation is not continuous. It could be a Proteus-like simulation. Or this might be an option.
