Thank you to our sponsor Altium!

We are extremely thankful to our major sponsor Altium for their continued generosity, in once again providing us with their ECAD software. Electronic Computer-Aided Design or ‘ECAD‘ is a software which allows for the creation of printed circuit boards (PCB) from a circuit design schematic. Altium offers an intuitive environment, with features such as a 3D virtual representation of PCBs, that supports the generation of high quality products. More information regarding Altium’s ECAD software can be found at: https://www.altium.com/altium-designer

PCBs have been used by the team for a variety of different projects. This includes the solar panels in the NEUDOSE CubeSat satellite, which consisted of a PCB adhered to solar cells as well as in the HASP (High Altitude Student Platform) 2018 mission, where it was used in combination with other devices to determine the attitude of the satellite. Shown below are some PCBs designed by out team using Altium software.

Thank you again to Altium for their continued support and for providing industry leading software that we use to educate students in electrical circuit design and product development.
