Case Study: Lightmatter accelerates PCB design and collaboration with Altium 365

Lightmatter accelerates photonic chip design with Altium 365 in 3 years

Lightmatter, a startup developing photonic computing chips for AI, faced the challenge of competing against industry giants like NVIDIA and Intel. They needed a streamlined PCB design process to bring their innovative technology to market quickly and efficiently, requiring better collaboration and supply chain management. They turned to vendor Altium and implemented Altium 365 for PCB design and collaboration.

By using Altium's cloud-based platform, Lightmatter eliminated the need for on-premise servers and enabled seamless collaboration between internal and external teams. The solution provided real-time supply chain data via Octopart and integrated with their existing PLM system. This allowed Lightmatter to accelerate their design process, avoid costly rework, and make informed component choices, ultimately helping them produce working prototypes faster and maintain a competitive edge.
