DipTrace - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

DipTrace is a schematic and printed circuit board (PCB) design software, which helps businesses of all sizes create 3D designs and multi-layered boards. The platform includes PCB layout tool, which enables engineers to define net classes, custom rules, and object types, facilitating circuit board designing activities through manual routing of differential signals, verification, data import and export, and shape-based autorouters.

DipTrace’s pattern editor allows engineers to create 3D models and design footprints with various pads, holes, shapes, and other objects using predefined components and patterns from the built-in library. Users can also design single and multi-part components with electrical and visual parameters via the integrated component editor. It offers a variety of features such as 3D modeling, color templates, electrical rule check, interactive visuals, circuit-to-board conversion, and more.

Administrators can utilize the placement tool to drag-and-drop multiple components by list, features, or other custom criteria to define the final layout of the board. The 3D PCB preview functionality lets users view a 3D model of the manufactured circuit board, rotate it on axis, zoom in or out, and customize their colors. DipTrace also supports integration with numerous manufacturing tools and third-party applications like Eagle, OrCAD, Altium, PADS, KiCad, and more.
