SamacSys, a leading provider of electronic component CAD models and library services, has completed a new integration with Labcenter Electronics Ltd, the makers of the Proteus Design Suite PCB Software. This collaboration will support Proteus customers by directly integrating the SamacSys platform of free design resources, including PCB footprints, schematic symbols and 3D models for more than 15 million components.

According to Alex MacDougall, CEO at SamacSys, Labcenter chose to partner with SamacSys to provide an industry-leading user experience for engineers using Proteus v8.9 and beyond. Proteus customers are now able to search online and download PCB symbols, footprints and 3D models directly from within the tool. With component library management now fully automated, importing models into a design is done in a single click. SamacSys’ partnership with Labcenter helps Proteus users save critical time during the design process and will further enhance future Proteus versions.

According to Iain Cliffe, Executive Director at Labcenter Electronics, access to SamacSys’ vast libraries of parts directly from the library pick dialogue form in Proteus builds on their previous integration to make the user workflow truly seamless. Proteus users can now search and import library parts from a web database with over 15 million parts and can even submit free build requests if a part doesn’t exist. Labcenter views this as a best in class solution to the persistent user problem of library part creation.

SamacSys is a leading developer of software tools for creating and managing electronic component ECAD data. Headquartered in the UK, the company has solved the decades-old problem of free-for-life access to high-quality PCB library content that integrates with existing PCB design tools, for every component and every engineer.

Labcenter Electronics Ltd was founded in 1988 to develop high quality, affordable CAD software. The first launch of the Proteus Design Suite followed soon after and a continuous focus on product development and innovation has evolved Proteus into one of the most cost effective, fully featured EDA packages on the market. The Proteus Design Suite software is a professional EDA tool for mainstream PCB design. The library part integration with SamacSys is a major productivity win for Proteus users and complements well the other features and resources that Labcenter already provides for its worldwide user base of the Proteus Design Suite.
