Available on the Altium 365 cloud platform and connected directly to MacroFab’s fully digital, elastic manufacturing platform, Altimade enables customers to request an instant quote and place an order to produce their PCB assembly without ever leaving their design environment.
Altimade modernizes and accelerates the prototype manufacturing process by connecting design, manufacturing, and supply-chain data and professionals on the Altium 365 cloud platform to provide an easy, convenient user experience. We talk to Ted Pawela, Chief Ecosystem Officer of Altium, about the solution.
With Altimade, Altium customers have continuously updated component and manufacturing information, and can place an order to produce their printed circuit boards directly within the design environment. All data required for manufacturing is shared via the secure, cloud-based Altium 365 platform. Orders are fulfilled by MacroFab’s network of manufacturers. Altimade creates, maintains, and displays a complete and continuous digital data trail for every step in the design, procurement, and manufacturing processes of a PCB. Any changes to the bill of materials or design details automatically update the golden record.
