Integrated CAD library app launched
Said to be the world's largest computer-aided design (CAD) library provider, Ultra Librarian has announced the release of a new application (app) on the Autodesk Fusion 360 app store.
International software company Autodesk collaborated with Ultra Librarian to generate the Fusion 360-compatible app that provides users with free verified schematic symbols, printed circuit board (PCB) footprints, three-dimensional (3D) standard for the exchange of product data, or STEP, models and reference designs from Ultra Librarian directly within the user's software to streamline the design process. Fusion 360 is a cloud-based 3D modelling, CAD, computer-aided manufacturing, computer-aided engineering, and PCB software platform for product design and manufacturing.
The app gives users access to millions of verified CAD models and native reference designs. “Due to increased workloads and shortened project deadlines, designers need tools like Ultra Librarian for Fusion 360 to spend more time on innovation and less time on part creation,” said Ultra Librarian product architect Frank Frank.
“For years engineers have struggled with the error-prone, manual creation of library components and, like the Fusion Package Generator, Ultra Librarian has taken a data-driven approach to libraries, automating many of the tasks which would otherwise add risk to user designs. This process has meant the adoption of the Ultra Librarian tools by distributors and manufacturers alike. Our shared goal is to push library authoring below the waterline and make the creation of new parts as painless and error-free as possible. We are excited by what this means for our users and look forward to growing our content offering with Ultra Librarian in ways that make our users more productive,” said Fusion 360 electronics design director Matt Berggren.
