Build your schematic
Create your schematic using your ECAD application of choice. We currently support Altium, KiCAD, and EAGLE.
Automate circuit board layout
Design your next PCB design in hours, not weeks, with Quilter's generative AI for electronics.
Define your constraints
Define any board constraints you want Quilter to respect, like PCB dimensions, connector location, or high current/frequency signals.
We automatically pull manufacturing tolerances from the top fab houses so you don’t have to.
Generate your layout
Quilter’s generative AI explores dozens of layout candidates and ensures that completed designs meet your DRCs and manufacturing tolerances.
Download your design
Review recommended candidates, select your favorite, and download manufacturing-ready board files for fabrication and testing.
Quilter works natively within Altium, KiCAD, and EAGLE file formats. All completed boards are returned in the same format that they were submitted.
How we do it:
Quilter makes layout as simple as compiling code.
Quilter enables hardware teams to achieve superhuman results through collaboration with generative AI. Here’s how we do it:
1
AI for PCBs
Quilter's generative layout engine was purpose-built for PCB layout and can run in the cloud or on-prem.
2
End to end layout
Quilter can manage component placement, board dimensions, trace routing, and PCB stackup.
3
Validated by physics
Quilter uses physics solvers to validate EMI and thermal performance of your board to identify the best designs.
4
Dozens of candidates
Quilter delivers up to dozens of manufacturable candidates and recommends those with the best performance.
5
Keep your workflow
Design in your CAD tool of choice, upload your schematic, download ready-to-build design files.

FAQ
1
Which CAD programs are supported?
Quilter currently works natively within Altium, KiCAD, and EAGLE file formats. There’s no importing, exporting, or file conversions, and all completed board files are returned in the same format that they were submitted.

Why do Quilter designs look so unique?
Optimizing a complex circuit board layout requires balancing tradeoffs between thousands of parameters that impact the final result. Even very experienced humans optimize for a very limited subset of those parameters and use "rules of thumb" to complete a design.
As an AI, Quilter can optimize for all design parameters at once and explore unconventional design possibilities that would be too risky or time-consuming for a human to consider. The resulting designs are occasionally unfamiliar, but regularly superhuman.

3
What boards can Quilter layout?
In the long term, we will support every type of board. Given current capabilities, Quilter is best for boards that are:
< 1000 pins
< 100 components
< 10% density
< 500MHz signals
< 2A current

4
How does Quilter handle design rules?
Quilter simultaneously evaluates designs against 10 rulesets and recommends the most conservative one that reaches 100% routing with 0 DRC violations.
These rulesets come directly from PCB manufacturers including JLPCB, OSHPark, and PCBWay; we display logos for the vendors that can support the most conservative rules we managed to complete.
