Current IssueDesigning Through the Noise
Our experts discuss the constantly evolving world of RF design, including the many tradeoffs, material considerations, and design tips and techniques that designers and design engineers need to know to succeed in this high-frequency realm.
Learning to Speak ‘Fab’
Our expert contributors clear up many of the miscommunication problems between PCB designers and their fab and assembly stakeholders. As you will see, a little extra planning early in the design cycle can go a long way toward maintaining open lines of communication with the fab and assembly folks.
Training New Designers
Where will we find the next generation of PCB designers and design engineers? Once we locate them, how will we train and educate them? What will PCB designers of the future need to master to deal with tomorrow’s technology?

Ultra Librarian to Dramatically Reduce CAD Model Build Times with New AI-Driven Part Creation Methodology
September 19, 2023 | Ultra LibrarianEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Ultra Librarian, the world's largest CAD library provider, announced that it has developed a new AI-driven CAD modeling engine to drastically reduce the time it takes to build CAD models. This new technology leverages the extensive Ultra Librarian expertise in CAD modeling and furthers the mission to make manual CAD model creation a thing of the past.
“We are very excited about this new capability,” said Frank Frank, Chief Architect for Ultra Librarian. “Leveraging AI has shown 20x-30x increases in performance, compared to manual methods, allowing us to further accelerate our model building activities.”
The Ultra Librarian team has been training the new AI models on their extensive, verified library of over 16 million CAD models currently available through Ultra Librarian. This allows the team to tune and train the AI engine to handle the myriad of variations and differences that exist between a vendor's part data.
“Having the world's largest library of verified CAD models has really helped us evolve and validate our AI learning models quickly,” said Frank. “The team is already exploring additional use cases to help further enhance the value and utility of the CAD model itself as we move forward.”
The new AI driven CAD modeling engine will be available as a free beta in early 2024. The Ultra Librarian team will be available to discuss this new capability at PCB West (booth 509). Interested parties can pre-register for the free beta program starting today.
