Quilter

Quilter

AI-driven PCB layout and design software that automates component placement, routing, and validation processes for faster hardware development.

About Quilter

Quilter is an innovative generative PCB design platform that leverages AI and physics-based simulations to automate layout, component placement, routing, and design validation. Users can upload schematics and blank boards to generate multiple optimized PCB configurations—including stackup, placement, and routing—accelerating the hardware development cycle. Quilter enables hardware teams to innovate faster by streamlining complex PCB tasks and ensuring manufacturability and compliance.

How to Use

Upload your schematic and blank PCB file to Quilter. The software generates numerous complete PCB designs, which you can review, select, and download for manufacturing. You can pre-place critical components or connectors before initiating the design process for better control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about Quilter

How does usage-based pricing operate?
Quilter charges only for the pins in the final fab-ready designs you download. You can generate unlimited iterations without additional costs until you select a design for manufacturing.
Can I set a budget limit or purchase order cap?
Yes, we provide usage alerts at 50%, 75%, and 90% of your monthly budget, helping you stay in control and avoid unexpected charges.
Where is Quilter hosted—public cloud, private cloud, or on-premises?
Quilter is deployed on AWS, with options for isolated environments per customer. For sensitive data, we can deploy it in your private cloud or on-premises to keep designs within your network.
How is my intellectual property protected?
All jobs are isolated and encrypted using AES-256 during transit and storage. Quilter’s AI is trained solely on physics simulations, never on your proprietary designs, ensuring your IP remains secure. Private-cloud or on-premises options are available for maximum confidentiality.
What board sizes and layer counts can Quilter handle?
Quilter efficiently manages boards from 4 to over 20 layers, regardless of complexity. More layers can simplify routing, and there’s no fixed maximum—system adapts to your specified stack-up.
What if Quilter cannot complete my PCB design?
You can iterate freely without charges. You only pay when you download a design that meets your criteria. If needed, adjust constraints or retry—no cost until you approve a final design.
What support does Quilter offer enterprise clients after purchase?
We provide dedicated technical and account support, regular roadmap reviews, onboarding, training, and quarterly business reviews to ensure successful implementation and ongoing success.
