WEdirekt and CadSoft Start Collaboration
September 30, 2015 | Würth ElektronikEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Würth Elektronik, the printed circuit board manufacturer and CadSoft, the software developer are entering a cooperation. This benefits both customers of the WEdirekt online shop and the users of EAGLE software.
“With the direct integration of the online shop into the EAGLE software, we are offering our customers an even faster way to correctly order their circuit boards via WEdirekt”, says Carina Harnisch, Head of WEdirekt.
The automatic application of the technical parameters is performed with only a click of the mouse, with the “PCB - Quote button”. The customer is able to quickly and easily request the quantity, price and delivery time from the configurator and to immediately place an order.
“The EAGLE PCB software is used by many developers, when it comes to PCB design”, says Harnisch, “so we are all the more pleased that we have found a partner in CadSoft that has the same philosophy as we do. Both the EAGLE software and the WEdirekt online calculator are user-friendly and offer an efficient circuit board design in top quality as well as a quick and simple order process.”
David Conochie, European Regional Manager EMEA at CadSoft adds: “The intention of CadSoft is to offer its users easy access to PCB produc-tion. Through the integration of the PCB Quote button into the user inter-face of EAGLE, direct access is provided. This way, we save users the sometimes time consuming search for a suitable PCB manufacturer. With WEdirekt as a partner, we are sure to be offering our customers the add-ed value they desire.”
Both cooperation partners especially focus on quality, as well as the bene-fits and requirements of their customers. Accordingly, usability and user-friendliness is constantly checked and developed.

Learning to Speak ‘Fab’
04/23/2025 | Ray Fugitt, DownStream TechnologiesOver the years, I’ve seen many PCB designers make DFM mistakes. At DownStream, I work with design and fabrication, and sometimes it feels as if the two segments are speaking completely different languages. But once designers learn to speak “fab,” many of these DFM challenges disappear.

Material Selection and RF Design
04/21/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineInnovation rarely sleeps in this industry, and the RF laminate segment offers a perfect example. RF materials have continued to evolve, providing PCB designers much more than an either/or choice. I asked materials expert Alun Morgan, technology ambassador for the Ventec International Group, to walk us through the available RF material sets and how smart material selection can ease the burden on RF designers and design engineers.
