is a CAD computer program[2] for EDA and PCB (printing circuit board) design,[3][4] developed by Ing.-Büro (en: engineering office) Friedrich in Germany.
The company offer a free version of the service for non-commercial use,[8][9] which is limited to 250 connection pins or pads on two copper layers.
The software package continued to develop with significant expansions starting from version V7.
[13] Also, testers of the electronics magazine "c't Hardware Hacks" rated it number two in 2013.
[4] These include an EMC module, symbol and housing generators, and SPICE-compatible simulation.
All project information is stored in one file to avoid redundancy and version conflicts.
Design begins with the creation of a schematic diagram and usually ends with the layout of a PCB (or chip).
The 3D data can be exported in STEP format to produce preview 3D dummies of the PCB on 3D printers.
has undergone several changes: Moreover, components from the Library Loader portal by SamacSys Ltd. are available for use in Target 3001!.
The library contains electrical simulation models for numerous components to facilitate this process.
Additionally, a "pilot router" feature attempts to autonomously lay traces between the start and finish points.
can generate universally usable data for PCB production and assembly, including: A distinguishing feature of Target 3001!
compared to widely used software like Eagle EDA is that both the circuit diagram and PCB layout are stored within a single project file.
This integration simplifies the design process and ensures coherence between the circuit and layout aspects of the project.
