Go to Manufacture with Confidence
Sending your design to production can be a tense experience. Many have come to expect manufacturing changes and issues to happen, slowing the design cycle and often leading to long nights and weekends for the engineering team. It doesn’t have to be that way. Go to manufacturing with confidence knowing you have been checking for manufacturing issues along the way with our real-time DFM checking and rules support.
KEY CAPABILITIES
Instant DFx Feedback
Automated Manufacturing Outputs
Effortless MCAD Integration

MANAGE
Your Data Where You Need it, When You Need It
Keeping track of design revisions, managing part availability and compliance, and updating your PLM can seem like another job. OrCAD provides automated capabilities to handle these necessary tasks quickly and efficiently without having to leave your CAD environment.
KEY CAPABILITIES
Automated Revision Control
Seamless Team Design
Component Sourcing and Library Management
Enterprise Integration
Your design is often part of a whole and as such, will need to be managed in a company PLM system or similar. Easily synchronize your design data with PLM and surface contextual data from PLM such as corporate-approved part numbers directly in your CAD tool and ensure a smooth transition to production.
