Enhance Your Design Process with eCADSTAR
Our unique combination of proven industry experience, technological expertise, and flexibility creates best-in-class solutions designed to support an end-to-end product development process.
eCADSTAR Capabilities
- Design simultaneously in 2D & 3D with the ability to check collision, clearance, and creepage in 3D
- Superb interactive routing with the ability to route circuits manually or autoroute
- Ability to share designs and collaborate with 3D MCAD
- Instant web access to over 20+ million online parts from your preferred manufacturers
Both post-layout and real-time checks like 3D collisions are supported. Experience simultaneous 2D & 3D viewing with the ability to multi-tab to enhance visibility during PCB layout.
Design and Technology Rules
Design rules are part of your master library data and are managed together with your parts, symbols, footprints, and 3D model data.
eCADSTAR’s library structure makes the re-use of design rules easy and avoids repetition. Furthermore, advanced area-based design rules while laying-out PCB is supported in the software.
Internet Connected Library
Our digitally connected library enables immediate access to millions of ready-made library parts from industry-leading suppliers.
Select your preferred supplier and view real-time part information, including stock, pricing, and alternatives.
Your selected part can then be automatically merged with your central library and ready to use within your design.
Create part data directly in the master library or import from web partner sites, with both being automatically merged into your master library.

Manufacturing Data and Collaboration
In eCADSTAR, all industrial standard outputs for manufacturing are supported (Gerber, drill, ODB++, IPC-2581, IPC-D-356A Pick & Place, B.O.M (Part list) data) and can be easily exported.
Many functions in eCADSTAR can be scripted in languages of your choice, including PowerShell, and VBA, which streamlines batch functions like manufacturing output generation.
Additionally, work your way on projects with eCADSTAR supporting DXF / IDF /IDX/STEP so that you can work, review, and implement changes that suit your team best.
