Macaos Enterprise for Engineers

Macaos Enterprise for Engineers is a cloud-based system for working with printed circuit boards in real world applications and simplifying your PCB acquisition process. Whether you are part of a large organization or just a service provider in the supply chain, Macaos Enterprise will help you get the job done.

Macaos Enterprise for Engineers is not a design tool for PCBs. There are many good tools available for designing a single PCB. However, most such tools stop there. You get an excellent PCB design converted to an output format (such as Gerber and drill files) which may then be sent to a fabricator.

However, a single bare printed circuit board is not a finished product. Modern electronics manufacturing makes use of automated assembly lines for component placement, soldering, depanelization, test, and more. The various modules in Macaos Enterprise for Engineers allow you to rapidly generate the data and tooling necessary for these assembly steps. Macaos Enterprise for Engineers also eases the process of purchasing PCBs.

Macaos Gallery

Macaos Gallery is a stand-alone system for working with printed circuit boards in real world applications and simplifying your electronics production process. Whether you are part of a large organization or just a service provider in the supply chain, Macaos Gallery will help you get the job done.

Macaos Gallery is not a design tool for PCBs. There are many good tools available for designing a single PCB. However, most such tools stop there. You get an excellent PCB design converted to an output format (such as Gerber and drill files) which may then be sent to a fabricator.
