Quilter free tier

Fully autonomous PCB layout. Unlimited iterations. Always free.

Quilter's Free Tier offers free access to physics-driven, autonomous AI PCB design, enabling innovators to complete layouts rapidly without manual routing or resource bottlenecks. Innovate faster, experiment freely, and endlessly iterate on ideas.

AI PCB design for innovators who demand more

Join the trailblazing community of engineers redefining PCB layout. Quilter gives you control, speed, and confidence. Master PCB layout, explore endless possibilities, and get instant gratification from seeing your designs come to life.

Through Quilter’s physics-driven automation, you can take routine PCB layout off your plate, enabling faster movement, earlier testing, and more innovation. All it takes is to first upload your circuit design, constraints, and requirements to Quilter. Quilter automatically generates placed and routed designs, creating multiple design options based on your pre-defined inputs. Then it’s time for you to examine, approve, or adjust to arrive at the best design.

I still enjoy routing a board by hand when it matters. But most of the boards that block a project don’t need that kind of attention. They just need to get done. Once I saw what Quilter could do — and how fast; sure, it looked different. But it passed the checks, got built, and saved me days. That’s what counts.

Quilter free AI PCB design

Begin designing instantly

Quilter Free Tier empowers everyone: engineers, students, researchers, and professionals by removing financial barriers to advanced PCB design. For fledgling businesses, we even scale for you. Speak with us to learn how Quilter can fit into your workflow if you have fewer than 10 employees, or if you haven’t made sales totaling over $50K/year in revenue.

If you’re looking for an AI PCB design generator that will aid in a personal project, or you’re looking to explore AI circuit design opportunities for the sake of keeping up with your professional development needs, the Free Tier of Quilter will work for you.

If you’re looking for a one-size-fits-all all AI electronics design solution, Quilter is not for you. Quilter is not an AI schematic generator, and it is limited in advanced simulation or circuit analysis functionality. What Quilter excels at is taking a schematic circuit file and automating placement and routing based on a learning model incorporating physics and DRCs to iterate quickly and achieve a functional circuit sooner than you could draft by hand.
