The Ultra Librarian services, software, and CAD library were all created with the specific mission of providing valuable PCB component resources to increase the efficiency of your design process. Major IC and semiconductor companies have relied on Ultra Librarian tools and services to build pre-built part data for their catalog of components as part of an added value to their customers. As we have continued to grow and strengthen our partnerships with electronic component developers it has been essential for us to provide schematic symbols, PCB footprints, and 3D STEP models in a vendor-neutral file format, also known as a BXL. Providing components data via BXLs allows for the creation of consistent quality CAD entities and to establish a standard with minimal effort, saving you a significant amount of time.

Component models built in conjunction with Ultra Librarian extend beyond our site to individual manufacturers websites as well. As we continue to serve PCB designers around the globe, our partnerships with major IC vendors is growing. We assist these companies in the production and distribution of pre-built CAD models they can provide to their customers. This helps to close the gap between IC vendors and PCB designers by allowing you to design-in components with ease. In order to serve our broad audience of PCB designers using different CAD tools, we have developed a universal file format (BXL) for pre-built components that can translate to 20+ different CAD formats.
