Why should I use Quilter?

Key reasons to adopt Quilter’s AI-powered PCB layout automation, highlighting faster time-to-market, efficient iterative design, reduced errors, and optimized use of engineering talent.

Quilter can't design every PCB, but if it can design it, Quilter should.

We've spoken with dozens of world-class hardware design teams and have never encountered an organization where PCB layout wasn't a bottleneck. The reality is that there are far too few experienced layout engineers to meet the rapidly growing demand for PCBs.

The best organizations are experimenting with new automation and AI-powered tools to transform their cultures and become faster, more efficient, and more effective than ever.

There are numerous reasons to start adopting AI-powered automation tools like Quilter; here are a few of the most common ones:

Get to market faster

Quilter dramatically reduces PCB design cycle times by automating the layout process. Traditional manual layouts can take weeks, but Quilter generates optimized design candidates within hours. Accelerating your PCB design cycles enables you to get your products to market faster, seize opportunities ahead of competitors, and respond swiftly to customer feedback and emerging market demands.

Improve designs through iteration

Quilter’s automation allows engineers to quickly and easily test multiple layout iterations, which is often impractical in manual workflows due to time constraints. With Quilter, you can rapidly explore design alternatives and trade-offs, leading to innovative solutions and higher-performing boards. More experimentation facilitates the discovery of the best design outcomes, rather than settling for the first viable option.

Protect your best engineers

Experienced PCB layout engineers are a scarce and valuable resource. Quilter offloads tedious, repetitive tasks so your most skilled engineers can focus on challenging, high-impact design decisions that truly benefit your products. By automating mundane aspects of layout, you safeguard and maximize your team’s most valuable engineering expertise.

Eliminate costly mistakes

Quilter’s physics-based rule checks and automated design processes significantly reduce the human error inherent in manual layouts. Every generated candidate undergoes rigorous validation to ensure compliance with real-world constraints, drastically lowering the likelihood of costly design errors and re-spins. Spending less time fixing mistakes means more resources are available for innovation and growth.

Design and iterate faster

Leveraging AI-driven automation, Quilter provides immediate design iterations without waiting days or weeks for manual updates. By quickly generating multiple layout options, teams can iterate rapidly, test assumptions frequently, and optimize designs efficiently. This AI-driven agility ensures continuous improvement throughout the product development process.
