Multidisciplinary product creation powered by your unconstrained network. Work concurrently across design, sourcing, and manufacturing with real-time insight. 35+ Years of Excellence: https://www.altium.com/develop?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=prior-2026-releases
This final video demonstrates which files are necessary for manufacturing (Gerber) and assembly (bill of materials, pick and place, assembly drawings using Draftsman), as well as how to create these files using Altium Designer. Created by Philip Salmony, Tech Consultant for Altium and the mind behind Phil’s Lab.
In this beginner, step-by-step series, we’ll go through the entire design process for a simple microcontroller-based hardware design using Altium Designer. From part selection, to component sizing, schematic capture, PCB layout and routing, and final manufacturing file generation.
