Seamless ECAD and MCAD Collaboration
Easily Exchange Design Data
Cadence and Leading MCAD Providers Ensure Collaboration, Compatibility, and Integration
In today’s fast-paced design landscape, it’s important that ECAD and MCAD teams collaborate to ensure seamless integration and alignment of design data throughout the PCB design process.
A fragmented approach often represents a significant bottleneck, leading to communication gaps, version control issues, and missed deadlines.
To avoid these inconsistencies and unnecessary rework caused by outdated information, Cadence has partnered with leading MCAD providers to ensure collaboration, compatibility, and integration between electrical and mechanical tools, eliminating the need for manual data transfer and reducing the risk of errors.
MCAD Tools Supported
Autodesk Fusion
Dassault Systèmes
CATIA and SOLIDWORKS
PTC Creo
Siemens NX
No matter which Cadence PCB design tool you’re using, whether it’s Allegro X or OrCAD X, the interoperability between our ECAD software and the MCAD software we support ensures data exchange in universally compatible formats.
This standardized approach empowers design teams to focus on problem-solving rather than struggling with technical challenges, helping drive faster time-to-market and higher-quality product outcomes.
