Quilter AI

What is Quilter AI?

Quilter AI transforms printed circuit board design by fully automating placement, routing, and physics-based validation. It leverages reinforcement learning combined with physics simulations to explore millions of layout possibilities, delivering multiple high-quality, error-free design candidates rapidly. Compatible with popular ECAD tools like Altium and KiCAD, Quilter integrates smoothly into existing workflows, helping hardware teams reduce design time from weeks to hours while ensuring manufacturability and performance compliance.

Key Features

• Physics-Driven Layout Optimization

  Utilizes full-wave Maxwell physics simulations to validate designs and eliminate costly errors before fabrication.

• Reinforcement Learning-Based Automation

  Employs advanced AI techniques to autonomously place components and route traces, mimicking expert human designers.

• Multi-Candidate Design Generation

  Generates dozens of layout options simultaneously, allowing users to select the best fit for their manufacturing and cost requirements.

• Seamless ECAD Integration

  Supports native file formats from leading ECAD software, enabling easy upload and download without disrupting existing workflows.

• Design Rule Compliance

  Ensures all outputs pass strict design rule checks (DRC) with zero violations, ready for immediate fabrication.

Use Cases

• Rapid PCB Prototyping : Accelerates the iteration cycle for hardware teams by reducing PCB layout time from weeks to hours.
• Manufacturing-Ready Design Delivery : Produces error-free, fabrication-ready layouts that comply with multiple manufacturer standards.
• Design Exploration and Optimization : Enables engineers to explore multiple layout configurations to optimize for cost, performance, and manufacturability.
• Integration with Existing ECAD Workflows : Facilitates smooth adoption by working directly with files from popular ECAD tools like Altium and KiCAD.
