InstaDeep’s goal of using AI to enhance speed and efficiency in the PCB design landscape is moving forward at pace. Our team recently showcased DeepPCB, our advanced cloud-based design tool, at two prominent industry conferences: Hardware Pioneers in London, UK, and PCB East in Boxborough, MA, USA.

These events offered a unique chance to engage with the PCB design community, understand their challenges, and demonstrate how our tool can empower them. By using DeepPCB, designers are effectively leveraging a productivity assistant. They can create layouts more efficiently and in significantly less time. To encourage experimentation and highlight the tangible benefits of integrating AI into their workflows, we provide users with 12 free credits daily.

Tackling PCB Design Challenges at Hardware Pioneers Max: London, UK

The PCB design industry faces numerous challenges, including complex routing, error-prone processes, and the need for rapid prototyping. At Hardware Pioneers Max, our team interacted with a vibrant community of hardware enthusiasts, developers, and entrepreneurs, discussing these pain points in depth. InstaDeep’s booth became a focal point for innovation, where we demonstrated how DeepPCB’s AI-driven capabilities can automate and optimise PCB design processes, significantly reducing errors and accelerating design cycles. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many designers keen to explore how DeepPCB could be integrated into their workflows to overcome these challenges.

Engaging with Industry Leaders at PCB East: Boxborough, MA, USA

Building on our success in London, we attended the PCB East conference in Boxborough, where the brightest minds in PCB design converge. Here, we engaged in meaningful conversations with industry leaders about the future of PCB design. The consensus was clear: the sector needs tools that not only enhance efficiency but also ensure reliability and compliance with manufacturing standards. DeepPCB addresses these needs by providing DRC-clean routings and optimising paths to avoid violations, thus streamlining the entire design process. The enthusiasm and interest from PCB designers at the event reinforced our belief in DeepPCB’s potential to revolutionise the industry.

Looking Ahead: PCBWest in Santa Clara, CA, USA

Our journey of innovation continues as we prepare for October’s PCB West conference in Santa Clara, CA, USA. This event is a premier platform for showcasing new technologies and advancements in PCB design. We look forward to engaging with more PCB design professionals and enthusiasts, presenting the latest enhancements to DeepPCB, and exploring how our tool can further address the evolving needs of the industry.

How DeepPCB Addresses Key Industry Pain Points

DeepPCB is an advanced cloud-based PCB design tool developed by InstaDeep. It is powered by AI and provides efficient and reliable PCB routing for boards with up to four layers and 500 airwires. If users have requirements beyond these specifications, or that are more complex, a dedicated DeepPCB support team is available to explore alternative options. 

Here are some of the significant benefits of our comprehensive PCB design solution:

  • DRC-Clean Routings: Ensures PCB design complies with manufacturing constraints and guidelines.
  • Optimised Routing Paths: AI model optimises routing paths to avoid potential violations, crucial for board manufacturing.
  • Support for Planes: Essential for distributing power and ground signals evenly across the PCB.
  • Scalability: Capabilities extend beyond the restrictions of four layers and 300 airwires.
  • Automated Cloud Platform: Fully automated cloud platform that begins work as soon as it receives your board.
  • Distributed Machine Learning: Utilises distributed machine learning for advanced routing and placement, optimising PCB layouts for superior performance.
  • Quick Turnaround: Finalised PCB design, ready for manufacturing, is available for download in record time.

DeepPCB leverages InstaDeep AI technology combined with powerful GPUs and cloud infrastructure, supporting industrial-standard DSN design files and other formats like KiCAD and Zuken.
