Siemens Xpedition 2604 is the latest release of the industry's most comprehensive PCB design platform, unifying schematic capture, constraint management, layout, DFM verification, and manufacturing documentation in a single integrated environment. Trusted by enterprises from startups to global OEMs, it streamlines the entire electronic design journey from concept to fabrication.

Natural-language AI assistant embedded directly in the UI, trained on product documentation and KB articles for the exact version in use. Ask questions about stackup configuration, scripting, design rules, routing strategies, and 3D visualization without leaving the design environment.

Signal Dictionary with allow/ban lists for intelligent cross-board signal name matching. Classify nets as equivalent or forbidden, applied globally or per-connector, with importable/exportable dictionaries for corporate naming standards. Reduces false positives and accelerates system interconnectivity validation.

EDM Collaborate web client now supports full design check-out and check-in workflows. Launch Xpedition Layout or FabLink directly from the browser, edit, save, and check back in without installing the full EDM desktop client.

Initial creepage validation directly in the layout editor with online (net-to-net) and batch (net class-to-net class) modes. Handles cutouts, blind holes, and through-contours for high-voltage board design.

IPC-4761 via protection types (capped, plugged, filled, tented) defined natively in the pad stack editor. Valor NPI consumes these types directly in DFM analysis without translation, improving the design-to-manufacturing digital twin.

Launch BluePrint-PCB directly from Xpedition Layout for manufacturing documentation. Auto-populated templates with current design data stay synchronized across design changes, preventing outdated drawings from reaching EMS partners.

Xpedition DFM now runs inside concurrent team layout sessions, scoped to protected areas. Multiple designers run DFM checks simultaneously without interfering, shifting DFM from a serial gate to a continuous activity.

EDM Collaborate extends search into PartQuest Portal with Supplyframe-sourced supply chain data. Intelligent Part List analysis shows lifecycle status, stock, price per supplier, and total board cost at any variant configuration.
