Design

Integrate seamlessly with Altium 365, which combines PCB design, MCAD, data management, and teamwork. Query designs in A365 workspaces, pulling back a range of information from nets to component details to mCAD and positional information.

Supply

Access component part information from our extensive Octopart database, which is continually updated with vital information from partners, including current stock levels, pricing, lifecycle status and technical component information.

Manufacture

Directly integrate with manufacturing services. Our Altimade platform uses the API to integrate rapid quoting and the ordering process into Altium Designer and Altium 365, dramatically simplifying the process of taking your design to production without leaving your design tool.

Analytics

Access our unrivaled insights from extensive market data and ML/AI models. We integrates design, supply chain, and manufacturer information for millions of components. Our curated insights help innovate faster and bring products to market sooner.
