Quilter

Quilter integrates with existing workflows by accepting projects from Altium, Cadence, Siemens, and KiCAD. Users can define board outlines, pre-place connectors, and set floorplan constraints. The tool is physics-aware, automatically identifying critical components and nets for review. It supports parallel iteration, allowing multiple stack-ups, manufacturers, and form factors to be explored simultaneously. Quilter provides transparent design review, evaluating each layout against physical constraints and giving clear feedback on what is complete and what needs improvement. Finally, it offers seamless handoff by returning files in the original CAD format for further DRC, polishing, and fab file generation.

Quilter is used across various design types and industries. For test fixtures and harnesses, it shaves 4-6 weeks off board bring-up. IC evaluation boards see layout cycles reduced from weeks to hours. Design validation boards shrink cycles from months to days. Backplane and interconnect boards go from over 30 days to under 24 hours. In semiconductors, bring-up is achieved in a single workday, with first candidates appearing within the first hour. Robotics companies compress board bring-up from 4 weeks to under 1 day. Consumer electronics and aerospace/defense also benefit from faster board bring-up and validation.
