Corintech Extends CAD Capability

Corintech is delighted to announce that in response to increasing client demand it has invested in Altium Designer (Summer 2008), for its Electronic Product Design Team. Historically, Corintech has been providing Microelectronic and PCBA layouts using CADSTAR and VuTrax CAD packages. However as Corintechs business has steadily evolved into a far more comprehensive design and manufacturing service, Altium Designer was perceived as the optimum platform for future design solutions.

Corintech provides an end to end design and manufacturing service ranging from defining a product concept, through design and on to the manufacture of complex electronic assemblies. This demanding design environment calls for the use of unified software with a complete set of electronic design tools. Not only does Altium have an electronic design suite, but is far more suitable in meeting the clients’ needs of direct 3D output for visualisation in mechanical design packages.

Altium Designer has a market leading and highly efficient PCB design engine which further strengthens its position as the industry's number one complete electronic product development system. All of which make it a faster and far more useful system to obtain the results our clients require by when they need them.

When asked to comment, Tim Waterman, Design Manger, said “I’m delighted with the speed and ease of transfer to the new Altium Designer platform. Its integration has progressed well ahead of initial projections and it is now planned to invest in further seats later this year. With Altium on-board we can now accomplish the design goals of our clients with greater confidence and efficiency. Its use supports the whole ethos of the design team, which is to ensure that real value is added at each stage of the project and to reduce the clients overall cost of acquisition.”

Whilst Altium Designer represents the future business direction, Corintech both recognises and is committed to supporting its longstanding clients with CADSTAR and VuTrax. Hence the legacy CAD systems will be maintained for the modification of earlier designs and for those customers who still currently prefer that format.
