Greening PCBs with SODAQ and Altium: A Case Study
SODAQ, a Netherlands-based company, has been focusing on creating greener Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) for over seven years. They design hardware and software for a variety of applications, including smart desks and bikes that measure air quality. Their first product, a solar-powered weather station, established them as pioneers in green technology. However, as their designs became more complex, integrating GPS tracking and solar power, they faced challenges. Designing complex PCBs with integrated solar panels required professional design tools. Their non-solar designs, like office desks that can track occupancy, featured custom applications that surpassed the limitations of most PCB design software tools. Managing components and design libraries with their old ECAD software was challenging, and collaboration between mechanical engineers and PCB designers was difficult.

Perfect Sound Forever: Teenage Engineering's Synthesizers and Altium's CoDesigner
Teenage Engineering, a Swedish company, specializes in creating compact, powerful synthesizers, including a series of small, battery-powered synthesizers known as pocket operators. These devices, which are roughly the size of a pocket calculator, can be connected together to produce and record a variety of music genres. The company's mission is to make synthesizers accessible to everyone, with a simple interface, animated LCD displays, and affordable price points. However, the design process of these devices presented a challenge. The company handles everything in-house, from electrical and mechanical engineering to industrial design and software development. The main challenge was getting the balance right between ECAD and MCAD software tools. The company's designs usually start on the MCAD side, building up the overall electromechanical look and feel. An ultra-tight tolerance chain was key when bouncing designs back and forth between Altium and MCAD.

Transforming PCB Design with Altium Designer and Altium 365: A Case Study
Small PCB design firms often face the challenge of limited access to affordable, comprehensive software tools. These tools are essential for designing, co-designing, sourcing parts, and sharing projects at each stage of the development cycle. Many available tools are incomplete, requiring additional modules that increase complexity and costs. Matthew Lightsey, founder and principal designer of Granite Summit Designs, experienced this challenge firsthand. His firm specializes in designing custom PCBs for various industries, including commercial, industrial, aerospace, and defense. When starting his own design firm, Matt did not want to compromise on professional tools. However, he found that more comprehensive solutions came with a higher price tag, while cheaper solutions were inadequate for professional use.
