Advanced Circuits, the third largest PCB manufacturer in the United States, created PCB Artist to provide a free design solution that makes the process faster and helps customers find potential mistakes before moving onto prototyping or production.
Designing a brand new PCB for your next project is exciting, but can be challenging if you do not have the right tools, which is why Advanced Circuits wants to make it easy with their high tech free PCB design layout software, PCB Artist. PCB Artist is very well rated and will not cost users a thing.
How Quality Design Software Helps the PCB Production Process
Using quality, professional-grade software like PCB Artist helps designers turn their new idea into a tangible product. The FREE PCB Design Software has helped facilitate a faster and simpler process for all design engineers creating their PCB Designs. PCB Artist includes a Multi-Page Schematics, a configurable Auto Router, and other great features found in other expensive PCB Design software options on the market.
The free library for PCB Artist has more than half a million parts and allows users to create PCB Designs up to 28 layers. It also includes a powerful Part Creation Wizard, as well as design rule checks and reports. This helps spot errors, ensuring customers will not waste their time and money with designs that ultimately will not work.
Users Enjoy an Intuitive Design Interface
A stand out feature of PCB Artist from Advanced Circuits is how intuitive and easy-to-use it is for customers. It can be used by those with experience in designing printed circuit boards, as well as someone who is still learning. The interface is easy to understand and it includes a user’s guide that is available for download with a variety of tips, tools, and video tutorials.

The Shaughnessy Report: A Stack of Advanced Packaging Info
12/10/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy -- Column: The Shaughnessy ReportIt’s only fitting that this issue on advanced packaging and stackup features a “stackup” of “packages” on the cover. There’s certainly a lot to “unpack” in this issue. As advanced packaging moves further into the mainstream of PCB design, more PCB designers and design engineers are realizing this isn’t a plug-and-play technology. As we see in this issue, advanced packaging can have an impact on the entire design—the stackup in particular.

If You Can Define It Right, You Can Design It Right
12/05/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007Design engineer Chris Young is known for his optimized design process. As lead hardware engineer with Moog Space and Defense Group and owner of Young Engineering Services, Chris collects data like it’s going out of style, and he leaves nothing to chance. With that in mind, I asked Chris to discuss his views on rules of thumb—which ones work, which ones should be avoided, and how rules fit ideally into the PCB design process.
