Case Study: MakeSafe Tools improves workshop safety and streamlines PCB design with Altium Designer and Altium 365

MakeSafe Tools migrates PCB projects in hours with Altium

MakeSafe Tools, a company dedicated to improving workshop safety, was founded by engineer Scott Swaaley to prevent tragic accidents. The challenge was to scale his one-person operation into a team that could design, produce, and reliably ship a complex safety device worldwide while ensuring it met rigorous compliance standards like those from OSHA. To achieve this, they turned to the electronic design software from vendor Altium.

The solution implemented by Altium involved using Altium Designer for precision prototyping and integrated component management, followed by Altium 365 for cloud-based collaboration and version control. This allowed the growing team to work seamlessly together and manage design iterations effectively. As a result, MakeSafe Tools successfully transitioned into a global company, shipping its life-saving devices to workshops and educational institutions worldwide, where they are now actively preventing accidents and saving lives.
