Generative circuit board layout for PCB designers

What it does

Quilter builds generative circuit board layout and design software for PCB designers. Upload your schematic and a blank board file, and Quilter generates dozens of complete PCB designs (stackup, placement, routing, DRCs) for you to review and download.

Quilter uses physics-driven AI to automate PCB placement and routing. Get review-ready layout candidates in hours. Works with Altium, Cadence, Xpedition.

Generate multiple candidates in hours. Physics validates every trace. Quilter uses reinforcement learning to actively explore thousands of generated candidate boards. PCB design remains a critical discipline, but engineers don’t need to spendtime on non‑core layout tasks. Bring-up ready in a single workday (first candidates often appear within the first hour). Product updates, engineering insights, and company news from the Quilter team. A behind-the-scenes microblog about our hardware projects and the AI that designs them. How physics‑first AI enables faster, more iterative hardware programs. An overview of the features and functionality that Quilter offers to help you generate, explore,…from quilter.ai

  • I made a little digital circuit simulator that operates on PNGs2022 · github.com · ▲259

    This is a little toy project of mine that lets you simulate digital logic graphs. It was inspired by Minecraft's Redstone and the Piet esolang. It's got some serious drawbacks-- you write circuits as PNGs and simulate them with a Python interface. It's slow to run and slow to experiment with. And it is certainly difficult to use for people with any kind of color blindness. But despite that, I hope this can still be a fun toy!

  • Talanoa▲346

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
