Altium 365 Assembly Assistant: Available Now in the Altium Store
Happy New Year! 🎉 We are thrilled to announce that the Altium 365 Assembly Assistant is now officially released and available for direct purchase through the Altium Store.
Fast and Accurate Manual Board Assembly
Manual PCB assembly often involves tedious cross-referencing between BOM and PCB printouts and navigating various CAD software. Assembly Assistant addresses these challenges by providing a web-based tool to simplify manual PCBA placement, improve efficiency, and minimize errors. Designed for ease and accuracy, the interface allows users to focus on precise assembly with an intuitive, user-friendly interface, eliminating the need for cumbersome paper printouts and complex CAD software navigation.
- Cut prototype/manual PCB assembly time by up to 50%.
- Combine BOM, PCB Viewer, and assembly instructions in one app.
- Avoid errors with cross-probing, linking BOM to 3D view for accurate orientation.
- Minimize costly production delays by ensuring accurate component placement.
- Design and BOM changes are instantly updated with the latest information.
