CADSTAR has superior integration features, providing customers with maximum flexibility in developing their EDA environment. Strong partnerships and strategic alliances allow CADSTAR to be used in conjunction with most of the market leading EDA software. This means greater protection of data integrity and ensures designs remain 100% intact at all stages of development.

Unleash the Power of CADSTAR
Easy to learn and fast to use, CADSTAR delivers workstation performance on a PC. Features within the CADSTAR tool sets include advanced automatic placement, post-processors for manufacturing and sophisticated library creation suites. From single-sided to complex double-sided, multi-layer and SMT designs, the CADSTAR tools will guide you through the design process and dramatically increase your productivity.

Other Zuken Solutions

CADSTAR is Zuken's Desktop PCB DEsign Solution. Other Solutions from Zuken include:

EDA

• PCB Design Solutions
  • Enterprise Wide PCB Design - CR-5000
    The CR-5000 EDA design suite provides the most advanced PCB design functionality currently available. It is constraints driven, from schematic capture through board layout, to the output of manufacturing data. This means that the rules you apply early in the design process are maintained right through to manufacturing. So products are right first time, manufacturable first time, and get to market fast.
     
  • High-Speed PCB Design - CR-5000 Lightning
    CR-5000 Lightning introduces completely new and unique technology, and is Zuken's greatest technical innovation since the launch of the enterprise wide PCB design solution, CR-5000. This fully combines PCB designs and simulation for fast and efficient design that enables users to solve high-speed design issues early in the process, reducing board development time by weeks. This fully integrated design environment into CR-5000 Board Designer and CR-5000 System Designer ensures a fully adopted frontloading approach, allowing users to share information through a unified database directly within the high-speed design environment. In-depth analysis and what-if capabilities available throughout the design process enable engineers to explore design scenarios, trading off signal integrity parameters such as crosstalk, timing or EMI requirements, against mechanical and thermal constraints.
    CR-5000 Lightning is built upon five key concepts, combining unique technology for effective handling of complex design information, constraint and analysis engine unification, process orientation and frontloaded verification.
     
  • Electromechanical Design
    Whether you're looking for the best way to package your electrical product or investigating innovative approaches to 3D electronics, Zuken's Electromechanical Solution solves a range of design challenges.
    Our design automation tools can help you investigate the potential of 3D electronic design, incorporating classical PCBs, flexible PCBs or MIDs (Molded Interconnect Devices).
     
• Cabling & Harness Design
  Our suite of electrical control system design tools, help ensure your design process is fast, efficient and accurate. The E3.Series, based on Windows®, features an advanced, object-oriented CAD engine, providing an integrated and common menu structure, enabling information to be shared. Alternatively the Cabling Designer Series recognises the importance of tailored solutions and custom interfaces to your existing processes and tools in order to meet your unique requirements.
  Whatever your electrical CAD needs, Zuken delivers a solution.

e-PLM

• e-PLM means Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) for electronic products in the electronic engineering stage. e-PLM is concerned with the business infrastructure, data, processes, people and technologies that the product comes into contact with during its life. It is a customized, integrated platform that puts electronics manufacturing businesses in better control of their critical information and processes.
