Why OrCAD for PCB design?
Have you ever been worried about the future of your PCB design solution? Do you think you should be getting more from your PCB solution? Is your vendor keeping up with your PCB design requirements and challenges? If you are not sure of the answers to the questions above, it’s time to learn why OrCAD is better!
With industry-proven Cadence® OrCAD® solutions, you get affordable yet sophisticated PCB technology, right from your desktop. Unlike other PCB design tools, OrCAD PCB design suites provide a feature-rich, fully scalable solution that you can expand and upgrade as your PCB challenges and the level of your design sophistication grow.

Future-proof Scalability
The OrCAD and Allegro® product families provide a fully scalable design environment; so as your design challenges grow you be confident that your tools will be able to keep up. Adding functionality is seamlessly integrated into the same user interface making sure your investment in training, libraries, and design IP is not compromised just because you need more powerful features.

Open Architecture Platform
OrCAD tools have a fully open architecture platform. This means you can add unique functionality that is integrated into the program in the form of apps, or you can also build capability and flows yourself. With expanded abilities to build custom interfaces for data transfer, the OrCAD 16.6 Release makes it even easier to address specific workflow needs

Industry-proven technology
Due to the OrCAD products' long standing success in the PCB design industry, and highly popular products like Capture and PSpice, most companies are familiar with the tools. Working with a widely chosen solution reduces additional complications brought on by unproven or unfamiliar technology.
