A modern EDA package for managing part libraries, drawing schematics, and designing and exporting PCB layouts.
About the Project
Why use this?
Horizon EDA focuses on a connected, part-centric design workflow. Instead of treating symbols, footprints, and 3D models as separate artifacts, it maintains a shared pool of parts that can be reused, maintained, and shared across projects.
Electrical engineers choose Horizon EDA for its modern codebase, streamlined schematic workflow, and integrated PCB layout and 3D preview. It is a good fit for teams that want strong library management and a clean, open-source alternative to legacy EDA packages. [85]
