Case Study: HARTING achieves faster, more space-efficient 3D circuit design with Altium Designer

HARTING speeds 3D circuit design with Altium

Harting, a global leader in connector technology, faced the challenge of designing complex 3D-Circuits due to a lack of user-friendly tools, which hindered the miniaturization of electronics. To unlock this technology's potential, they partnered with vendor Altium to leverage advanced 3D design capabilities within Altium Designer.

The solution implemented by Altium was the development of a groundbreaking 3D-MID design tool within Altium Designer. This tool streamlined the design process by allowing engineers to use existing components and schematics, route connections intuitively on 3D surfaces, and generate manufacturing files with a single click. The collaboration also produced the Harting PCB Expander, which maximizes space utilization. This resulted in a revolutionized workflow that reduces design time, ensures electrical consistency, and lowers manufacturing costs, paving the way for a new generation of compact, high-performance devices.
