SAN DIEGO – Altium is launching Nexar, a cloud-based partner platform designed to connect Altium 365 PCB design users and their companies with software, suppliers, and manufacturers.

More than 5,000 companies and 11,000 users have adopted the Altium 365 cloud platform for electronics design. With the introduction of Nexar, partners can join this ecosystem to make software and services available to Altium 365 users.

“Altium is committed to making our vision for industry transformation a reality,” said Ted Pawela, chief ecosystem officer at Altium. “Design, supply chain, and manufacturing stakeholders today operate largely in isolation from one another. By bringing them together on a collaborative cloud platform, we have the opportunity to dramatically accelerate the industry’s ability to introduce new products.”

Partners can use Nexar’s open API to integrate with Altium 365 and Altium Nexus; present up-to-date component data from the Octopart search engine, and embed ready-to-use “embeds” such as the Altium 365 ECAD viewer on web pages or within an application.

“Our goal is to build a vibrant ecosystem of customers and partners who benefit from each other’s participation. We are doing everything possible to make the experience of joining this ecosystem frictionless.”
