Idea to Realization
Users don’t want more CAD. They don’t want more tools. More different ways to do the same thing in different places. They want realization. They want a way to go from idea to thing easier and faster and better they they do right now. One of our driving motivations has always been and always will be making it easier for you to go from idea to real, manufactured, working hardware device — to realization. The reason for building Upverter in the cloud is that it makes realization easier. The reason for our integrations with EE Concierge and Octopart is they both make realization easier.
Modular Design
Upverter is architected and being built fundamentally for Modular Design. We believe Arduino, Raspberry Pi, BeagleBoard, GumStix, etc. are natural evolutions of the electronics and hardware design process. The explosion of “X on a module” (SOM, COM, etc.) was inevitable and is the right way for the industry to develop. We believe the days of designing with first-principles, picking resistors and capacitors, and assembling schematics from these atomic and raw elements are numbered. We believe in the future users will design hardware using abstract, applicational or functional blocks — almost like snapping lego blocks together — and hardly even consider “raw” parts. We call this modular design, and Upverter is the first design realization tool to embrace this new way of making hardware.
Embeddable
We believe in a maximally open platform for all those who support, enable, or realize hardware. In line with this Upverter is being refactored as an embeddable, extensible platform which can be used by anyone, anywhere without limits to deliver realization experiences to their communities, customers, users, and ecosystems. We call this product embeddable Upverter. It’s free to use, and our vision is that it gets used as far and as wide and for as many different things as Google Maps was — becoming part of the infrastructure — a foundational technology for hardware realization communities, products, and companies.

The most valuable difference with using Upverter is that we can collaborate with world-class users. With its user-friendly UI and shallow learning curve, Upverter is an excellent tool for creating hardware.
Eric Pan, Founder, Seeed Studio
I believe that tools should get out of the way and help you develop and build. You shouldn't need a college-level class to learn a tool. Upverter took less than 5 minutes to orientate myself and get up and running.
Alec Manfre, CEO, Co-Founder, Bractlet
Before trying Upverter, the main issue we faced was finding a way to work together on the design of PCBs while being viable within our financial limits. Upverter solved all of these issues.
Peter Birch, Engineer, Project Voxel
In terms of editing capabilities, Upverter rivals other software packages like OrCAD, but the greatest part about Upverter is its shallow learning curve.
Andreas Jochum, Nicadrone
The most amazing thing about Upverter, which I haven’t seen replicated anywhere else, is how easy it is to create a new part. In a couple of clicks, it’ll be imported with far more details than I could timely produce.
Jesse Vincent, Keyboardio
Signing up with Upverter is a quick and smooth process. IT takes just minutes to get up and running. Importing an existing project takes only a few clicks. The parts library is also helpful, which lets us save time while ultimately making the finished design better. With its user-friendly UI and shallow learning curve, Upverter is an excellent tool for creating hardware.
Cedric Honnet, Tangible Display
We tested OrCAD, Eagle, and some free and open-source tools like Kicad. And I can tell you: the experience with Upverter, especially when it comes to the main interface, is way better. Upverter provides what the users have been asking for for a long time. This is the answer we need. This is the future.
