Case Study: Nuvation achieves 'right-first-time' designs, faster turnaround and lower costs with Altium Designer

Nuvation - Customer Case Study

Nuvation Engineering, one of North America’s largest independent electronic design services firms, provides hardware, software and FPGA development to customers from Fortune 50 companies to startups across multiple regions. Working on very complex products (up to 40-layer boards, 10 GHz links and custom RF), Nuvation needed a predictable, repeatable “right‑first‑time” process to meet tight schedules and budgets.

After benchmarking EDA tools, Nuvation adopted Altium Designer as its default schematic and board‑layout environment. The integrated toolset, reusable libraries, FPGA macros, 3D clearance checking and import/export interoperability sped iterations, improved peer review effectiveness and simplified handoffs. The result was faster throughput, shorter design schedules, reduced customer costs and a sustained competitive advantage through consistent right‑first‑time deliveries.
