CircuitMaker

CircuitMaker is an absolutely colossal, mathematically deeply powerful, and entirely community-driven platform. It operates as the unquestioned "Trojan Horse of the Altium Ecosystem." It is mathematically the exact same terrifyingly powerful, enterprise-grade core routing engine as the $10,000 Altium Designer software, but it is offered completely for free to the open-source community. The absolute core differentiator of CircuitMaker is its "Mandatory Open-Source Cloud Architecture." In exchange for getting Altium's multi-million dollar routing engine for free, the user is mathematically forced to save their designs publicly to the 'CircuitMaker Community Cloud'. It is essentially a massive, highly powerful social network for serious open-source hardware design. Because it completely democratized access to the most powerful enterprise routing algorithms on earth, offering unparalleled Altium-grade design tools, massive community collaboration, and stunning 3D visualization, it is the inescapable standard for serious open-source hardware projects and elite university students.
