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.
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 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.
The following webinar demonstrates how PADS Professional operates seamlessly with Solid Edge with ECAD/MCAD collaboration, including automatically aligning and mapping 3D models.
Collaboration between PADS Professional with Solid Edge enables communication between PCB designers and mechanical engineers. This case study demonstrates how a team integrated mechanical, electrical, and electronic design across tools.
