The Design Tool for Electrical Systems
Artifact is a collaborative, version-controlled, and multi-layered ECAD tool. It organizes interdependencies between sub-systems and generates harness drawings, pin-tables, and BOMs real-time.
Single source of truth across design, procurement, and manufacturing
Designing boats is hard.
Designing harnesses shouldn't be.
+ Aerospace & Defense orgs under NDA.
Remove harnesses from the critical path
Parallelize harness design, trace signals across systems, and build with confidence. Artifact structures complex systems and gives tribal knowledge a permanent home.
Align Product Teams
Design, manufacturing, and procurement teams collaborate on the system design in parallel.
- Real-time collaboration
- Unlimited viewer licenses
- Version Control
- Automated Documentation
Electrical Verification
Run electrical verifications and designs rule checks to catch design errors before the system is built.
- Advanced Parameters
- Net Traceability
- Electrical Rules Checks
- Project Rules Checks
Multi-Layered Views
Artifact has Design Blocks and a Navigation Map to see the full system at multiple levels of fidelity.
- Clear Ownership
- Explicit Interface Definition
- Cross-System Net Tracing
- Configuration Traceability
Security Compliance
Artifact has Aerospace and DoD customers with ITAR and CUI compliant installations
- Email-based auth
- GovCloud support
- Customer-cloud deployment
- API-based integrations
Import the components. Export the system.
Artifact bidirectionally links to your CAD system and generates harness drawings, pin-tables, and BOMs. Everything stays in sync as you increase design fidelity.
How to build your system in Artifact:
Build your Parts Library
Create new parts, bulk upload from .csv, or download parts from Artifact's public library. Define pinouts and metadata once - and use them across all of your projects.
Draw the System Schematics
Drag in devices, connect pins, and add custom annotations. Cleanly visualize power, ground, and data connections throughout your system.
Autogenerate Harness Drawings
Generates harness drawings based on your system schematic. You can edit the drawings to add lengths, custom annotations, and treatments like zipties and overbriad.
Run Electrical Rules Checks
Run electrical rules checks to catch design errors before the system is built. You can also run project rules checks to catch design errors across multiple systems.
Track Design and Build History
Branch designs, save snapshots, and freeze releases. Every change is traceable - so you can always know what changed, when, and why.
Navigate the Project Map
Navigate nested design blocks in the navigation map to see the full system at multiple levels of fidelity. You can also see the dependencies between systems.
Trace Nets and Component Details
Click a trace to see its electrical net through mated connectors. See all nets, pinouts, and datasheets in one place - everything you need during troubleshooting.
Export BOMs, Pinouts, and Drawing
Generate BOMs, harness drawings, and pinout tables from your design. Outputs stay synced, so documentation always reflects the design.
