How CELUS and Siemens are about to transform PCB design

By Stephen V. Chavez

Hey there, fellow engineers, designers, and tech enthusiasts! If you’re like me, you’ve probably spent countless hours creating and modifying PCB designs using whatever tools you could get your hands on. Maybe you’ve been making do with free software but pushing those free tools to their limits in your quest to achieve your desired results. Well, hopefully you’ve heard about our recently announced collaboration with CELUS that is going to be a game changer for you.

A collaboration that’s got everyone talking

CELUS and Siemens are teaming up! This collaboration is set to make advanced design tools more accessible than ever before, especially for anyone who has been relying on free or entry-level software.

Why this should be on your radar

So, what’s in it for you? Imagine having access to professional-grade design tools that are not only powerful but also intuitive and affordable. This upcoming solution aims to integrate CELUS’ AI-driven automation with Siemens’ renowned design expertise, creating a tool that’s tailored for engineers who need more than what basic software can offer.

Consider this:

Enhanced features. Access advanced capabilities that simplify complex designs, something you might have missed in free tools.
User-friendly interface. An intuitive design flow that doesn’t require a steep learning curve. Spend less time figuring out how to use the software and more time innovating.
Time-saving automation. Let intelligent algorithms handle repetitive tasks, so you can focus on the creative aspects of your projects.

Bridging the gap between free and professional tools

Let’s face it, free tools have been and continue to be a fantastic starting point for many of us. They’ve allowed us to learn, experiment, and bring ideas to life without breaking the bank. But as projects grow in complexity, these tools can start to feel limiting.

New possibilities

With this upcoming solution, you’ll be able to:

Take on more complex projects. Tackle designs that were previously out of reach due to software limitations.
Improve efficiency. Advanced features and automation mean you can complete projects faster without compromising on quality.
Collaborate more effectively. Professional tools often offer better collaboration features, making team projects smoother.

My personal excitement

As someone who’s spent a fair amount of time navigating the quirks and workarounds of free design software, the prospect of an accessible, professional-grade tool is pretty thrilling. The idea of combining the best of CELUS’ automation with Siemens’ design capabilities feels like the perfect blend of innovation and practicality.

What’s next?

I know, the suspense is real! While we have to wait a bit longer for the actual product release, one thing’s for sure … it’s going to make a significant impact on how we approach PCB design.

If you’re curious (and I bet you are), stay tuned for more updates. On the next episode of the Printed Circuit Podcast, I speak with Antonio Becerra Esteban from CELUS about using AI during PCB design and how our new solution is set to deliver benefits to engineers and designers like you.
