Quilter is more than just an autorouter—it’s a complete PCB layout engine. Unlike traditional autorouters, such as the one in Altium, which only focus on routing traces and often require manual cleanup for complex designs, Quilter handles the entire layout process. This includes placement, selecting stack-ups, defining pour strategies, and checking constraints based on physical properties—all seamlessly integrated into the workflow.
Instead of making you micromanage things like widths, separations, and impedance rules, Quilter asks for a higher-level understanding (like “this net is 50Ω impedance-controlled”) and takes care of the rest automatically. This leads to more accurate, manufacturable designs—especially for complex, high-pin-count boards like DDR4 memory systems.
Most importantly, we strive for 100% completion. Autorouters often give up around 70–90%, leaving designers to sort out messy, unusable partial results. With Quilter, a design that doesn’t fully route is considered a failure. That focus on full automation, combined with physics-aware layout and rapid product evolution, sets Quilter apart.
