July 30, 2024 | Ultra LibrarianEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Ultra Librarian, an Accelerated Designs brand and the world's largest online CAD library with over 16 million parts and counting, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Footprintku AI, the leader in DFM-aware CAD library development. This partnership aims to solve one of the largest manufacturing issues plaguing hardware design teams today, CAD library DFM.
“We are very excited for this partnership with Footprintku AI,” said Manny Marcano, President, Accelerated Designs LLC. “The CAD library is the core building block of any PCB design flow. These libraries need to accurately represent all aspects of the parts being designed, ensuring the manufacturing systems being used to ultimately build the boards can run without issue. Working with Footprintku AI will enable us to further enhance the DFM capabilities of our library across all the CAD tools we support, giving design teams the security that they can go to manufacturing with confidence.”
The two companies will work to bring Footprintku AI's pioneering technologies in Design-for-Manufacturing (DFM) processes into the Ultra Librarian CAD library. As part of the Ultra Librarian Virtual Librarian Service (VLS), this collaboration will provide a new on-demand DFM-aware library for companies looking to enhance and validate their libraries for DFM.
“In working with numerous top-tier OEM/ODM companies, one of the more common DFM issues we saw were in the CAD libraries, ” said YC Hwang, Founder of Footprintku AI. “Our partnership with Ultra Librarian will allow us to provide systematic and programmable DFM management services creating libraries that are ready-to-manufacture upfront eliminating delays and issues downstream.”
