2009 Dec: Altium Designer Service now available.

Following a number of customer requests we have now added Altium Designer to the extensive range of products supported by Dayford Designs.

In the words of Altium:

Altium Designer is a unified electronics design solution. So you can capture and design the physical PCB platform, create the programmable system hardware, develop the embedded software, and manage all the projects that that make up an electronic product, all within a single unified design environment. You can link dynamically with your MCAD peers designing the cases for your products to check whether the electronics will in fact fit, in real time, from within Altium Designer, in 3D.

This acquisition means that Dayford Designs is one of the very few service bureaus in the country that can support designs from every major CAD vendor!
