PCB design tool TARGET 3001 V15 Download

Great ideas can turn into great products, if and only if your PCB design tool provides the freedom and efficiency to capture those ideas.

TARGET 3001! is a CAD-/CAE-software for PCB design. The integration of the schematic-, simulation- and layout data into one user interface, and the integration of these data into one file is revolutionary to the work of the design engineer. The aim is a short time-to-market of your products abandoning internal conversion struggles. The TARGET 3001! Wiki gives information on TARGET 3001!. It assists you to get started immediately. It shows you how to deal with common tasks, gives you helpful information and points at new important features. TARGET 3001! itself consists of schematic, mixed mode simulation, contour autorouter, autoplacer, PCB layout, 3D view with a STEP export, basic EMC check and a frontpanel layout. It provides manufacturing data for production processes of all industry standards.

DesignSpark PCB

DesignSpark PCB Version 3.0, the World's most powerful Free and easy to use Design Tool

Free from practical constraints on board size, pin counts, layers and output types, DesignSpark PCB circuit design software can be used for schematic capture, PCB design, layout and generating manufacturing files. Multi-page schematic designs are supported and gerber (extended) file outputs allow the designer to choose who will manufacture the board.
DesignSpark PCB supports the importing of Eagle CAD design files, circuit diagrams and libraries (See the Eagle import tutorial for further information). A comprehensive standard parts library is supplied, which can be amended, copied and added to as required and sophisticated part creation wizards make it easy to Design new parts from scratch or by amending standard symbols and footprints. Bill of materials (BOMs) reports can also be generated at any time; these give RS Components order numbers where appropriate.

DesignSpark PCB is offered completely Free of Charge and fully featured. This is not a cut down version of an expensive product or one with a time limitation on license. (There are no intentional limitations on designs). There are unlimited schematic sheets per project, up to 1m squared of board size and no limits on layers, which allow you to get your creativity flowing without restraints.

DesignSpark PCB allows you to generate all the files required to take your project from circuit diagram to layout schematic to a circuit board built project. Gerbers (Extended RS-274-X), Excellons, BOMs, component lists and positions are possible along with DXF (import and export) and IDF for interfacing to mechanical CAD software tools.

Whether you are a professional designer making money from your designs, an electronics education professional, a student or a hobbyist seeking an easy to use, professional standard, unrestricted schematic capture and PCB layout tool, then DesignSpark PCB is right for you!
