"We’ve been partners with Cadence and OrCAD for almost thirty years. OrCAD’s 30th anniversary is proof of its continued customer preference and leadership in technology and innovation.” - Bruno Mouneimne, President, Artedas
"The improvements in the OrCAD 16.6-2015 30th anniversary release of PCB Designer Professional go a long way toward addressing our current and future design challenges.” - Henrik Juul, PCB Designer, Lodam Electronics A/S
From the Past…
Back in the day (some might remember), schematic and layout was done by hand with pen or pencil, an X-Acto knife and tape, and a light table. As design complexities increased and the PC evolved as a viable, cost-effective workstation alternative, PC-based schematic, layout, and simulation tools addressed the need for automation, productivity, and ‘advanced’ capabilities impossible to do by hand. OrCAD was born and helped pioneer a new mainstream EDA market providing technologies that enabled countless engineers over the years to design and bring to market ever-evolving electronic products.
…Into the Future
Over 30 years, OrCAD has grown and evolved with the electronics market to become one of the most trusted names in PCB design providing solutions that enable electronics manufacturers to tackle the complex requirements and challenges inherent in today’s modern designs. As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of OrCAD, we are committed to continuing that tradition of innovation. The 16.6-2015 release and new 2015 products enhance the OrCAD solution delivering new high-speed capabilities and greater product creation efficiency.
