Case Study: Teenage Engineering achieves seamless ECAD/MCAD collaboration with Altium Designer and CoDesigner

Perfect sound forever with teenage engineering and Altium

Teenage Engineering, the Sweden-based creator of compact, battery-powered synthesizers like the pocket operators, needed a reliable way to manage ultra-tight mechanical and electrical design tolerances across in-house engineering, industrial design, and software teams. The company used Altium Designer and faced the challenge of moving designs smoothly between ECAD and MCAD while preserving accuracy for its small, portable products.

Altium implemented CoDesigner within Altium Designer and Altium 365 to enable seamless bi-directional collaboration between ECAD and MCAD without manual file importing, exporting, or conversion. As a result, Teenage Engineering streamlined its design workflow and improved coordination on complex, high-tolerance products, helping bring durable, low-power synthesizers to market with a consistent, polished final design.
