element14 has announced a new global agreement with Altium, a leading supplier of PCB design software solutions, to distribute CircuitStudio through the recently launched element14 Design Center.

 

This partnership will be a cornerstone of phase two of the element14 Design Center, which will incorporate a software store allowing customers to buy and receive licences online for a wide range of engineering software.

 

CircuitStudio is planned for a full launch early in 2015. However, element14 and Altium will shortly be inviting those who are interested to register for the Beta version of the product.

David Shen, Group Chief Technology Officer, Premier Farnell, said, “I am delighted we are able to announce this strategic partnership with Altium. With CircuitStudio, we are able to meet the needs of more professional design engineers who demand a simple yet powerful EDA software with the features and functionalities to complete a complex PCB design.
 

Jason Hingston, CTO, Altium, added, “We are excited about the partnership with element14 and the benefits this will bring to PCB designers. With CircuitStudio, we will deliver a product with a modern interface that will be easy to use but powerful enough for professionals. More than 25 years of Altium R&D experience around PCB design tools built the foundation for a product that designers can pick up and design with when needed, and we are looking forward to the launch of CircuitStudio together with element14.”

 

The element14 Design Center is a new resource for engineers offering the most comprehensive range of development tool information alongside product details and supporting material.
