Quilter unblocks rapid iteration for hardware teams

Physics-based AI that delivers fab-ready test, validation, and prototype boards in hours, not weeks

See Quilter AI PCB design software place and route your boards

I still enjoy routing a board by hand when it matters. But most of the boards that block a project don’t need that kind of attention. They just need to get done. Once I saw what Quilter could do — and how fast; sure, it looked different. But it passed the checks, got built, and saved me days. That’s what counts.

The fastest way to design and iterate PCB prototypes

Quilter automates layout so you can test faster, iterate more, and keep projects moving — without adding headcount or disrupting your workflow.

Faster time-to-market

Eliminate layout delay — get validated, fab-ready boards in hours, not days.

Unblock your engineering team

Free engineers from layout gruntwork so they can focus on integration, testing, and iteration.

Drop-in compatibility

Seamlessly works with your existing PCB design tools — no retraining, no workflow rewrites.

On-demand layout at scale

Generate multiple ready-to-fab designs in parallel and clear bottlenecks and delays without extra headcount or outsourcing.

See how Quilter can accelerate your productivity

We limit the number of concurrent evaluations to ensure a fast turnaround. Book yours now before your competitors.

Book a meeting

Most teams spend 2–3 weeks getting a test board ready. Quilter produces complete placed and routed PCB designs in hours.

Fully automated PCB design placement and routing

Just upload, walk away, and get results. Skip navigating conflicting priorities and competing for resources and get a board that works.

Upload your design

Instead of emailing it to your PCB designer, upload it to Quilter. You can pre-place connectors or critical components — Quilter handles the rest.

Quilter generates dozens of layouts

Quilter’s physics-driven engine simulates real-world design constraints and uses reinforcement learning to generate dozens of layout options in parallel without training on any human data.

Review and select

Quilter designs for multiple stackups and fab rule sets simultaneously so you don’t get locked into one manufacturer, cost, or configuration.

Download fab-ready files to manufacture

Run DRC/DFM checks on native files in your PCB design environment before sending them to your fab.

It might look different — that’s the point

Quilter doesn’t imitate human layouts, it optimizes for physics. Your board might not look hand-routed — but it’ll pass checks and get built. Faster.

Quilter-designed boards have been tested, manufactured, and put into use — on Earth and in orbit.

Teams who move fast use Quilter

More and more engineering teams treat iteration as a competitive advantage and are turning to Quilter to move faster. If your team has more test boards to build than layout hours available — you’re in the right place.

Schedule a free demo

Layout is your bottleneck

Your PCB expert is busy, outsourced, or unavailable — and the rest of the project is stuck behind them.

You’re building new hardware fast

You don’t have 2–3 weeks to wait for layout every time you need to validate something.

You test before committing

These are evaluation boards, test harnesses, and validation builds — they just need to work.

You’re accountable for timelines

You’re judged by working hardware, not by how pretty the layout looks on screen.

You iterate to win

You don’t get ahead by admiring your layout. You get ahead by testing, learning, and moving faster than the other guy.

Your designs are yours‍

No reuse. No AI training. Your preferred infrastructure.

Every job is isolated

Each design is processed independently — no sharing between instances, and is deleted after completion.

We never train on human data

Quilter learns from physics simulations — not human boards or user data.

You choose where it runs

Hosted on AWS by default, or fully deployable in your private cloud or on-prem.

Trusted by teams in aerospace, defense, and advanced R&D environments.

FAQ

These are the most common questions we get from teams evaluating Quilter for rapid iteration and test board design:

Is Quilter trained on customer designs?

No. Quilter is not trained on human-designed boards. It uses physics-driven reinforcement learning, not data scraped or learned from your IP. Your designs stay private.

How long does it take to get a layout result?

For most medium-complexity PCB development projects, Quilter returns fab-ready layouts in 2–6 hours—ideal for quick-turn PCB prototyping and validation.

Can I control where Quilter runs?

Yes. We support public cloud, private cloud, and on-prem options to meet security requirements for electronics design services providers and your internal compliance requirements.

Can Quilter help reduce time-to-market and cost?

Yes—by automating layout, Quilter’s automation significantly compresses layout timelines, allowing teams to iterate faster and deliver hardware quicker. This helps reduce time to market and cost for R&D and test teams.

What happens if I need to change something after Quilter finishes?

Simple—just run it again with your updated design. Fast iteration is what Quilter’s built for.

How is this different from an autorouter?

Quilter handles placement, routing, and stackup targeting in addition to trace routing using AI PCB design powered by physics and reinforcement learning. This leads to faster iterations and better design reliability and no manual tuning.

How does Quilter choose the “best” layout?

Quilter evaluates multiple layer stacks, trace/space rules, and manufacturing options. The best design balances manufacturability, cost, and physics—without you needing to predefine a specific fab or constraint.

How steep is the learning curve?

Very low. Most engineers submit their first board in under 10 minutes. There’s no new CAD tool to learn—just upload and go, perfect for non-PCB designers to generate prototypes of their circuit designs.
