An overview of Neurocad, the AI platform that generates PCB footprints, schematic symbols, and 3D STEP models directly from datasheets and delivers them natively into your ECAD and MCAD tools.

Neurocad Link is the desktop bridge that delivers native, design-ready assets straight into your existing CAD tools like, Altium, KiCad, SolidWorks, and more.

A guide to where engineers find component CAD models, how the main libraries compare, how to keep a component library accurate, and what to do when a part isn’t in any library.

A practical guide to the IPC standards that govern PCB design, from land patterns and stencil design to manufacturing data and assembly acceptance, and how Neurocad applies them.

A side-by-side comparison of Ultra Librarian and Neurocad: when to download an existing CAD model, and when to generate one from the datasheet.

A step-by-step guide to creating a PCB footprint from a datasheet, by hand to IPC-7351 or automatically with Neurocad, including how to choose the right package variant and what to validate before release.

Neurocad Link is a desktop companion app that maintains a live connection between Neurocad and installed CAD applications including Altium, Cadence, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, and Inventor. When a recipe completes, Neurocad Link fetches the asset and delivers it directly into the active tool — no file download, no manual import, no save-and-reopen. Zero re-entry at the desktop boundary.

Signing into Neurocad™ for the first time is simple. Check your email for a temporary passcode, then follow the prompts to create your own password. Login with an MFA code emailed to your inbox, and you're in!

A quick start guide to the Neurocad workflow. Setup Link. Create your first artifact. Open design read-ready artifacts in your CAD tools.

Artifacts is where you manage and send your design-ready assets to your tools. Every schematic symbol, PCB footprint, and 3D model Neurocad has generated for you. Browse what your recipes have produced, preview any output before it leaves the system, modify as you wish, and send finished assets directly into Altium, Cadence, SolidWorks, or Fusion.

New to Neurocad™? This tutorial walks you through everything you need to get up and running: from signing in and installing Neurocad™ Link, to running your first workflow and sending a native asset directly to your EDA tool. No prior experience required. Follow along at your own pace and have your environment ready before your next design session.

This walkthrough shows the full Library Parts workflow in Neurocad™: uploading a datasheet, capturing symbol and footprint images, generating a multi-part artifact, editing in the artifact editor, and sending design-ready files directly into your EDA tool. No manual entry. No redraw. The export process works the same way across all supported tools.

Stop rebuilding schematic symbols from scratch. Neurocad reads your datasheet, extracts the component data, and generates a native, parametric schematic symbol directly in your EDA tool — no manual re-entry at any step. This video shows you exactly how it works: from source file to design-ready asset in Altium, KiCad, or Cadence. The AI describes. The kernel executes. You review and approve before anything enters your design.

Stop rebuilding footprints from scratch. Neurocad reads your datasheet, resolves the dimensions, and generates a native, parametric, DRC-valid PCB footprint directly in your EDA tool — no manual re-entry at any step. This video shows you exactly how it works: from source file to design-ready asset in Altium, Cadence, or KiCad. The AI describes. The kernel executes. You review and approve before anything enters your design.

See which documents, images, engineering data, and CAD files Neurocad can read, what it can create today, and which CAD applications it supports. Learn how Neurocad decomposes IPC-2581 data and generates IPC-7351-compliant footprints.

Recipes are Neurocad's node-based workflow builder. Use them to customize how Neurocad extracts, interprets, and exports your engineering data. This guide covers the recipe workflow from file input to native artifact in your EDA or CAD tool, including how to build, run, and reuse recipes for batch processing and automation.

This guide covers the node types available in the recipe palette and explains the workflows each one supports.

Nodes are the building blocks of every Neurocad recipe. This guide covers how to add, connect, and configure them to build workflows that move engineering data from source to native CAD asset.

The Send to CAD node pushes finished recipe outputs directly to Altium, Cadence, Fusion, SolidWorks, or Inventor. Set up your machine, check the connection status, and dispatch — no manual import needed.

Deploying a recipe turns it into a server-side automation that runs without manual input. This guide covers how to configure, deploy, and manage automated recipe workflows in Neurocad.

The Connect page is the directory of every external service a recipe can talk to.

Connect GitHub to Neurocad™ once, and every datasheet, drawing, or specification you commit becomes a native, design-ready CAD artifact in seconds. Watch the full setup, from first connection to your first generated artifact, in under three minutes.

Connect your workspace, build a recipe, and set a command trigger. Then, drop a file into Slack, type your command, and Neurocad™ returns a preview link directly in the thread. Your artifact is ready to review, edit, and send to your tool. No data re-entry. Just file in, artifact out.

What design intent means in engineering and CAD, with mechanical and electronic examples, how it gets lost between tools, and how to preserve it.

The Slack integration lets recipes listen for events and slash commands in your Slack workspace.

The GitHub integration lets recipes listen for repository events through the Neurocad GitHub App.

Neurocad 14 day trial is available. Create schematic symbols & footprints from datasheets and other files. Send those schematic symbols & footprints to your desktop applications including: Altium, OrCAD Capture, KiCad. Trigger schematic symbols & footprint recipes from Slack and GitHub

3D package generation now included with schematic footprints Send to Fusion and SOLIDWORKS
