Supplyframe’s subsidiary company SamacSys, has completed an integration with Cadence Design Systems, Inc.’s Allegro® and OrCAD® PCB design tool suites. This collaboration supports the Cadence® OrCAD Capture Cloud and the new Allegro System Capture electrical engineering design platform by directly integrating the SamacSys platform of free design resources, including PCB footprints, schematic symbols, and 3D models for more than 15 million components.

“Collaborating with Cadence to integrate our eCAD model platform within their next-generation Allegro System Capture and OrCAD Capture products is extremely exciting,” said Alex MacDougall, CEO at SamacSys. “Cadence chose to collaborate with SamacSys to provide an industry-leading user experience for engineers who are now able to search online and download PCB symbols, footprints and 3D models directly from within these design suites. Component library management has now been extended to allow importing models into a design with a single click. Our collaboration with Cadence helps Allegro and OrCAD users save critical time during the design process.”
