Quilter
FreeQuilter offers automated layouts, performance optimization, and seamless integration with ECAD tools to transform PCB design.
About Quilter
Quilter is a generative circuit board layout and design software for PCB designers. It automates PCB layout using physics and AI, allowing users to upload schematics and blank board files to generate multiple complete PCB designs, including stackup, placement, routing, and DRCs. Quilter helps hardware teams innovate faster by automating tasks such as component placement, trace routing, stackup management, and physics validation.
How to Use
Upload your schematic and a blank board file to Quilter. The software generates dozens of complete PCB designs, which you can review, select, and download fab-ready files for manufacturing. You can pre-place connectors or critical components before uploading.
