DIY Model Rocket

| Created: October 15, 2018

Have you always designed your DIY model rocket printed circuit boards, one board, at a time because a multi-board system-level design was beyond what CAD systems could do? As technology evolves, the ability to design multiple boards within a project provides significant advantages over single board design. The best way to do this is with Altium Designer 18, the most widely-used PCB design solution known for excellence in Native 3D PCB Computer-Aided Design for a successful multi-board model rocket design.

Altium Designer 18 delivers a truly Unified Design that bridges all facets of the PCB design process to keep you seamlessly connected to every aspect of your design to create good inter-board connectivity with placement and routing.

Altium Designer 18 is the only design software you need to quickly transform your model rocket into reality with features that include:

Native 3D visualizations and clearance checking

Advanced interactive routing technology

ECAD Libraries containing over 300,000 ready-to-use components

Powerful design reuse

Real-time cost estimation and tracking

Altium Designer 18 delivers superior PCB design to develop next-generation model rockets. Take advantage of the free trial today to easily tackle multi-board design.
