How DE Design Works Uses Altium 365 to Deliver Faster, Smarter Hardware Development
Premium Tools for Premium Customers
For DE Design Works and our global customers, Altium 365 isn't just a PCB design tool—it's a development accelerator. By leveraging its cloud-native platform, we design for long-term manufacturability and supply chain, streamline collaboration, safeguard IP, and cut weeks off traditional hardware development cycles. Here's how it powers our process—and benefits your project.
Get Feedback Fast
Browser-based design review simplifies collaboration
Project stakeholders—whether engineers, clients, or compliance reviewers—can view and comment on designs right from their browsers. There is no need for Altium licenses or installs. This accelerates signoffs and uncovers issues before they escalate.
Avoid Parts Headaches
Avoid Parts Surprises with BOM Visibility
Altium 365 provides DE hardware engineers with insights into component availability, pricing, and lifecycle status during design, allowing us to address potential sourcing issues proactively. While this forward-looking early design practice has always been part of DE custom PCB design services, this connected capability streamlines the process. For our customers, this experience helps avoid untimely redesigns due to EOL parts and keeps production timelines stable.
Accelerate Collaboration
With Altium 365, our team keeps board outlines, keep-out zones, and mechanical models aligned—streamlining mechanical fit checks and reducing iteration delays. This capability supports tighter integration between electrical and mechanical teams, even across time zones.
Lock Down Your IP
Secure collaboration with complete control and traceability
At DEDW, protecting client intellectual property is non-negotiable. Altium 365 gives us granular permission controls, so only authorized team members—and verified stakeholders—can view or edit critical design files. Every action is recorded to ensure compliance, facilitate audits, and provide peace of mind for your IP.
End Version Confusion
A single source of truth for your entire design team
We eliminate guesswork and backtracking. Altium 365 ensures everyone is working from the latest revision—schematics, layout, libraries, and BOMs—across teams and time zones. This minimizes rework and speeds up review cycles, particularly when several engineers work on the same board.
Design Anywhere
Access designs from any device, anytime
Whether reviewing a layout while traveling or making a quick change from home, our engineers stay productive from any browser—or within Altium Designer. This supports our agile, client-responsive development model.
Why It Matters
At DE Design Works, tools like Altium 365 aren't just about convenience—they're about results. By integrating real-time data, securing IP, and breaking down collaboration silos, we help clients:
- Reduce time-to-market by up to 30%
- Minimize costly rework and sourcing delays
- Improve design traceability and compliance
Let's talk about your next project to see how we can bring this capability to your custom PCB design.
