Why engineering teams rely on Cadstrom
For engineers who take pride in their work
Offload the tedious part of schematic review while keeping full control of your design.- Catch the “I can’t believe I missed that” mistakes before they become expensive lab time.
- Walk into design reviews without the stress - with a clear validation report, not hope.
For teams that accomplish more
Reduce project cost and schedules without hiring more engineers.- Turn ad-hoc review processes into repeatable and reliable validations.
- Even one prevented respin can outweigh the cost of using Cadstrom many times over.

Engineers who try Cadstrom never ship without it
"We’re now integrating Cadstrom into our standard workflow to help us innovate even faster & more accurately for our clients."
Theodore Ullrich
Partner & Co-Founder, Tomorrow Lab LLC
"Cadstrom has become an essential element of our PCB review workflow, delivering exceptional value that we can readily pass on to our clients by complementing rather than replacing our engineering expertise."
Diego Sorrentino
Electrical Engineering Manager, Starfish Medical
"We’ve been following Cadstrom amid the growing number of AI tools for electrical engineers, and theirs is the first whose approach genuinely resonated with us. While many AI tools focus on design synthesis, which is often underwhelming or difficult to trust, Cadstrom addresses a real problem by helping engineers catch issues before boards are built. That focus gives teams greater confidence that boards will be easier to bring up and far less likely to require respins."
Steve Lowe
Founder & VP of Hardware, Igor Institute
"After our initial validation with Cadstrom, the value was immediately clear. The types of checks they automate are precisely the ones most likely to be missed, impacting cost, timeline, and development success."
Ron Regent
Director of Operations, SGW Designworks
“Design validation in medical devices is unforgiving—issues found late are exponentially more costly. Cadstrom gives us something we’ve never had before: automated validation that catches problems early in the design cycle, when they’re still easy to fix.”
Alexandru Marin
Hardware Designer, Puzzle Medical Devices
Cadstrom exists so your team can move fast without gambling on “hope it’s fine” schematic reviews.

FAQ
Your questions, answered clearly
How do you protect my design IP?
Your design files are kept in a secure cloud services environment and all validation occurs entirely within that environment. Cadstrom NEVER uses your IP to train AI models. We're SOC 2 compliant (Type 1 audit report expected February 2026) and will permanently delete all customer-owned IP upon request or agreement termination.
What errors do you guarantee to catch?
We validate across multiple categories including voltage compatibility between interfacing components, bus signal routing (I2C, SPI, UART orientation), logic polarity (active-high/low, open-drain configurations), component ratings and margins, component pin and signal assignments. We stand behind our work with confidence and performance guarantees.
How is this different than simulation software?
Simulation models circuit behavior under specific conditions—signal integrity, power delivery, thermal performance. We validate design correctness at the ‘design intent’ level: checking that components are properly interfaced, specified and rated correctly. These are the "obvious" checks that experienced engineers know need to happen but are tedious to do manually—and still slip through frequently, causing respins. We're complementary to simulation, catching the fundamental errors before you invest time in detailed analysis.
Does this replace peer review?
Cadstrom works upstream of traditional ‘stage-gate’ design reviews. We free up engineers from spending time on many tedious, repetitive checks while adding a consistent safety net across every design iteration. By catching issues during the design process rather than at the final stage-gate, problems are far less costly and easier to fix. Cadstrom is built to handle high levels of ambiguity and doesn't need every component fully specified, so you can validate iteratively as your design evolves. Think of us as having a tireless senior engineer looking over your shoulder throughout development—catching voltage mismatches, bus wiring errors, and component rating issues before they ever reach your review meeting. Your team's formal peer review can then focus on architecture decisions and creative problem-solving instead of hunting for preventable errors.
Does my design need to be 100% complete before I send them?
Not at all. Submit schematics at any stage of development. Our validation is designed to work iteratively throughout your design cycle, helping you catch issues early—when fixes are simple—rather than discovering them after fabrication when changes are costly.
What schematic and layout tools does Cadstrom support?
We currently support Altium Designer, KiCad, and OrCAD X project files.
