Altium Develop is a collaborative platform for modern electronics engineering teams that connects requirements management, PCB design, systems engineering, and manufacturing workflows.
Built on Altium Designer and Altium 365, the platform provides a centralized environment for design collaboration, requirements traceability, BOM management, supply chain visibility, and engineering change management.
Altium Develop helps hardware organizations maintain alignment between requirements, design decisions, and manufacturing outcomes while supporting distributed engineering teams through cloud-based collaboration.
Core Features:
• PCB design collaboration
• ECAD-MCAD co-design workflows
• Component and supply chain visibility
• BOM and engineering change management
• Design review and approval workflows
• Cloud-native team collaboration
• Requirements management and traceability
Used by electronics teams building complex PCB-based products, Altium Develop is frequently evaluated alongside Cadence OrCAD, Cadence Allegro, Autodesk Fusion Electronics, KiCad, Siemens Xpedition, and SOLIDWORKS PCB for organizations seeking greater collaboration and lifecycle visibility across hardware development programs.

Copperhead
Copperhead is a collaborative open-source AI platform aimed at aiding hardware teams in the design, validation, and production of circuit boards. By simply detailing a modification or submitting a product brief, users can prompt the agent to make precise edits to actual KiCad files, revise any related documentation, and perform KiCad's built-in checks until all pass successfully. The comprehensive workflow encompasses various stages, including specification, architecture, component selection, schematic design, layout, output generation, firmware creation, and development strategy, ensuring that each phase produces a tangible artifact on disk before progressing. Validation gates check for budget adherence, logical subsystem analysis, datasheet-supported component numbers, ERC-compliant schematics, DRC-compliant layouts, generated Gerber files, firmware source code, and comprehensive bring-up plans. Additionally, Copperhead is equipped to handle modifications for existing boards: users can direct it to a KiCad repository, start the project, and request specific changes. The edits made are targeted adjustments to KiCad source files, ensuring that changes are minimal and easily reviewable while leaving other sections intact. This approach allows for a streamlined revision process that minimizes disruption to the overall project.

BV Circuits
BV Circuits offers a versatile software platform that operates both in the cloud and on desktop systems for the evaluation of electronic schematics prior to the development of PCBs. Hardware engineers can submit a schematic PDF, a compatible EDA netlist, along with a bill of materials that includes manufacturer part numbers for analysis. The platform meticulously examines the schematic images and circuit connections, verifying component pin assignments, checking compatibility, assessing design rules, and analyzing logical behavior to uncover any possible errors and areas for enhancement. Users receive a detailed report outlining findings, warnings, and recommended actions to facilitate design investigation during the verification and review stages. BV Circuits accommodates file exports from various tools including KiCad, OrCAD, Altium Designer, EasyEDA, and Siemens Xpedition/PADS. For those looking to try the service, there is a free plan that allows limited weekly analysis previews, while paid subscriptions unlock comprehensive reports, PDF downloads, and monthly analysis credits. Additionally, an enterprise desktop version is available for organizations with greater needs, ensuring that all users can find a suitable option for their schematic review requirements.
