Electronic circuit design is the first step for every electronics design project and requires the creation of a schematic diagram. The schematic defines how the pins of electrical components are logically connected together on a printed circuit board (PCB). When the circuit design is complete, engineers can use their schematic to perform SPICE simulations or translate their schematic into a PCB design software.
Outperform with Fusion 360 for electronics engineers
67%
Companies that streamline access to PCB and mechanical data at design time release 90% of products on time; 67% better than those who don’t have access to the same data.
~$33K
An average of $33,967 per design launch is saved by companies that implement cross-domain collaborative, revision control, and concurrent workflows.
85%
Companies that interconnect manufacturing and electronics design meet their costs and reliability goals 85% more than their competitors.
True 3D PCB design
3D visualization of your PCB is not the solution. Start designing and laying out in the only 3D PCB design tool of its kind for electronics engineers.
One data set, from ECAD to MCAD
Never second-guess your mechanical constraints and eliminate the headaches of old interchange file formats. Your PCB data is your mechanical data.
Fully functional, comprehensive PCB design
Using separate tools to design products is a workflow of the past. Create the next generation of products with a unified schematic, PCB, library management, simulation, and mechanical design on a single platform.
