PCB design software integrates with prototyping service

8 February 2012 Design Automation

Farnell has announced that the upcoming version 6.0 of its CadSoft EAGLE PCB design software will integrate functionality that provides a direct connection between board layout and the Eurocircuits PCB prototyping service.

Identifying PCB service providers, generating customised quotations and ordering of prototype PCBs is a time consuming and error prone process. Now it can all be driven by the engineer from the CadSoft EAGLE user interface.

The update, which will smooth and speed board level design and PCB prototyping, can also be applied to existing 5.10 and 5.11 versions of the software via a user language program (ULP) download. Users operating versions of EAGLE that are older than 5.10 can upgrade their licence to benefit from the integrated direct link to Eurocircuits.

Launched online in 2000, Eurocircuits currently serves more than 6000 customers and has established a strong reputation as a specialist manufacturer of high-quality, quick-turnaround PCB prototypes.
