To get started with the new SnapEDA integration, engineers simply visit the Downloads section on the Seeed's OPLs. By downloading ready-to-use CAD models for the parts they select, engineers can save weeks of time, and reduce costly prototype iterations during the manufacturing process. In addition to preventing delays, engineers also save money since the components in these libraries are sourced from Seeed's affiliated partners network and/or are purchased in bulk.ĭuring the design and manufacturing stage, the addition of the SnapEDA CAD models to the OPLs make them even more valuable. This is especially helpful given the current global component shortage affecting the electronics industry. Today it contains a wide selection of over 150,000 commonly used parts, from integrated circuits (ICs) to passives, to cut costs and reduce the turnaround times for turnkey PCB assembly.ĭuring the parts selection stage, the OPLs save engineers time and reduce delays, since the parts are carefully selected to ensure they are widely available in the local supply chain, eliminating the need to import parts and undergo lengthy and costly customs clearance processes.

The OPLs are a collection of commonly used components, designed to be used with the Seeed Fusion PCB Assembly (PCBA) service, that are widely available in the supply chain, cost effective, and design-for-manufacturing (DFM) friendly.
