ExpressPCB Announces ExpressSCH Plus and ExpressPCB Plus Version 3.2
June 14, 2023 | ExpressPCBEstimated reading time: 1 minute
ExpressPCB is excited to announce the enhancement of our Schematic Link and Netlist Validation tools in ExpressPCB Plus. The latest release of our ExpressPCB Plus layout software, version 3.2.0, brings improved performance and flexibility for designers.
By bolstering the support of symbols used in ExpressSCH Plus, we have achieved improved speed, stability, and quality of results in our Schematic Link and Netlist Validation tools.
To meet industry and customer needs, ExpressPCB now offers UL, lot code, and date code marking, ensuring traceability. We value customer feedback and have made changes accordingly. As part of our commitment to convenience, we have also adjusted the order cut-off time to 3pm Pacific time for all manufacturing services.
In addition, we have made updates to the SnapEDA API, expanding part library options and improved part previews. These improvements contribute to our ongoing effort to provide simple, user-friendly solutions for the design and fabrication processes. ExpressPCB remains dedicated to empowering designer with efficient and effective tools.
“I love the integration of ExpressPCB software with the ordering process, and also the ease of use of both Express SCH Plus and ExpressPCB Plus -- it saves a lot of time. This sort of quick turnaround capability and extended cut-off time is really helpful during the prototyping stage, which we obviously need to pass through to reach volume… The added UL and date codes for production volume is also greatly appreciated!”- John L.
