ECAD/MCAD Co-Design Resources
Key Features
Accelerating ECAD/MCAD Co-Design
Quickly and accurately communicate design intent between electrical and mechanical CAD systems. With PADS Professional both the PCB and the mechanical engineer stay in sync, leveraging best-in-class data exchange standards, making collaboration convenient, accurate, and effective.
Eliminate the Barriers in PCB/Mechanical Co-Design
Break down the barriers between PCB design and mechanical design domains with PADS Professional’s MCAD Collaborator to accelerate time-to-market, eliminate re-spins, and reduce product cost with electro-mechanical collaboration.
Form-Factor Validation with ECAD/MCAD Co-Design
Form-factor consideration goes beyond how a product looks. With virtual PCB/MCAD collaboration, engineers can make critical decisions based on form-factor constraints including electronic content, connectivity, material and component selection to ensure highly reliable electronics hardware.
