Introducing CADSTAR

CADSTAR is Zuken’s powerful PCB design solution allowing an intuitive work flow, guiding the designers easily through their design process. CADSTAR incorporates all the technologies necessary for a complete electronic development process in one environment.


From schematics, board- and FPGA level system design, PCB layout, high-speed and signal integrity analysis, 3D board modelling, generating manufacturing output, complemented by complete data management capabilities and extensive internet-accessible libraries containing over 200,000 parts including graphical symbols and PCB footprints.


Its price, performance coupled with a scalable design environment, provides total flexibility to engineering design teams of all sizes.


CADSTAR Intuitive, Customisable Design Flow
Throughout both Schematic, PCB design and Routing, a common command set, modelled around the Windows style guide, ensure you can reuse the skills developed overtime using Microsoft Office applications. To support your individual style, the GUI is also fully customisable.  

Powerful OLE automation tools based on Visual Basic, eliminate time intensive tasks by automating common design processes, and allow you to extend the capability of the tools by adding your own functionality.


CADSTAR Routing Methodology
Zuken’s high speed router (PR Editor) forms the heart of CADSTAR. The powerful, interactive tools work with you in tackling today’s dense PCB design challenges, allowing you to combine your creative skills with the power of intelligent automation. 

Set up for a ‘right-first-time’ approach,PR Editor is optimized for speed and accuracy. Capable of full integration with the CADSTAR Signal Integrity Verification (SIV) tool, PR Editor allows routing control by track length or delay rules.


CADSTAR Migration Options
Protect investment while increasing productivity by re-using symbols, footprints and other design data.  Maintain the historical design environment when migrating from your legacy system to CADSTAR. Call for more information on 01254 301888.
