Quilter
Engineers at the world's most innovative electronics companies build with Quilter. Quilter is fully compatible with your existing designs and libraries. All completed designs are returned in the same file format they were submitted for inspection, modification, and export. Design your schematic using your ECAD application of choice (currently Altium or KiCAD). Upload your schematic and empty board file. Quilter auto-detects relationships between parts. Define any design constraints for your board. We validate tolerances against top fab houses. Quilter explores dozens of candidates and validates that all designs pass DRCs. Review candidates, select your favorite, and download board files for fabrication and testing. Quilter is more like a human designer than it is like an auto router. Quilter manages all aspects of PCB design including routing traces, placing components, managing board stackups, and generating custom pours.
