  • “The schematic capture in CircuitStudio is easier and more efficient than Eagle. I have found it is quite intuitive to use and access to the Altium Vault is also quite handy here. I am working on a new, more complex project so being able to use multiple schematic sheets with a logical organisation has been a boon.”

  • “In my opinion, especially in a startup environment, shortening the time between the design-manufacturing-testing phase is crucial. It is fairly easy to save time during design using the advanced features offered by CircuitStudio. Altogether, the intuitive wizards, DRC, autorouter, excellent Schematic Capture and the huge library of components significantly shorten the design phase.”

  • "CircuitStudio is a very powerful and easy-to-learn design tool that is definitely worth the money. The reduced feature set seems very carefully chosen and being below 1000€ makes it pretty easy to get the purchase approved."

  • ”My decision to purchase was driven by the state-of-the-art interactive routing and ease in which you can see how the board looks as a physical item in realistic 3D.”
