SnapEDA has announced its collaboration with Zuken to help eCADSTAR users design electronics faster. As part of this collaboration, SnapEDA's ready-to-use symbols, footprints, and 3D models can now be downloaded in the Zuken eCADSTAR format. Additionally, through this collaboration the SnapEDA component search and download experience is now embedded within the eCADSTAR PCB design platform, further streamlining PCB design workflows. 

By accessing SnapEDA within Zuken eCADSTAR, designers can now search and download from SnapEDA’s massive library of electronic component models. These models can be instantly placed within their designs, significantly improving design productivity. 

In addition to searching and placing components, engineers can see real-time quality checks enabled by SnapEDA's patented verification technology. These checks help them understand the applicability of a model to their specific design, helping them to avoid costly prototype iterations. Engineers can also find other relevant electronic component resources, including datasheets, distributor pricing and availability, and requests via the company's InstaPart service.

SnapEDA's mission is to help engineers design electronics faster by removing barriers. The company believes that when engineers are given the resources needed for design, that they can spend more time innovating new and better products that improve our world. 

As the creators of the first and only neutral electronics design search engine, SnapEDA helps over a million professional engineers design faster each year. With Zuken joining the SnapEDA Syndication Network, SnapEDA is looking forward to continuing to expand the support we can provide to engineers.

How to Find CAD models within eCADSTAR

1. Go to the eCADSTAR schematic dashboard and click Web Lookup Preferences.

    2. Set up SnapEDA as your preferred search engine. By choosing this option, you will set up SnapEDA as your default search engine when looking for electronic components when not available in your central library.

    3. Open a new schematic and go to the library search window.

    4. Search for a part name like DA14531MOD-00F01002 or a keyword like “USB type c”.

    5. The SnapEDA Search will load within eCADSTAR so you can continue the product evaluation there. This search is completely embedded within the app.

    6. Click download and place the symbol, footprint, and 3D model into your tool seamlessly.
