CadSoft Computer Inc has been developing and marketing the software package EAGLE for more than 20 years. Headquartered in Germany, CadSoft has a vast user base ranging from hobbyists to global multinational companies such as 3M, AT&T, BMW, Daimler Chrysler, Hewlett Packard, IBM to name a few.
EAGLE (Easily Applicable Graphical Layout Editor) is a low-cost, easy to use, powerful PC-board design tool with advanced features like online Forward- and Back-Annotation; UNDO/REDO function for ANY editing command, script files for batch command execution, copper pouring, and an interactive Follow-me Router.
EAGLE has been the best-selling software of its kind in Europe since the early nineties. Elected “Product of the year” for five times in a leading German electronics magazine, EAGLE has become very successful in North America as well.
EAGLE is available in Light, Standard and Professional editions across the Windows®, Linux® and Mac® platforms. And it is now available in 1-year licenses: powerful, easy to use PCB software at very affordable prices.
The new EAGLE V6.4 has landed ...and it's XML based.
Powerful yet affordable, EAGLE's V6.4 for PCB design and manufacturing introduces a new XML database structure so you can easily import or export data files to and from other CAD programs.

"We are delighted with the software, since it offers all the functions which we need for the development. EAGLE is very well-known and most of the new colleagues with an educational background in PCB design are very familiar with it. Obviously this helps us save tremendously on training time." –Bernhard Fischbacher, Racing Team TU Graz.
"For the planning of all PCBs, we use EAGLE as an easy-to-learn design tool. The flat learning curve facilitates the uptake of the program, meaning all new team members can quickly achieve good results." –Jürgen Scholz, Team leader Electric Drive Train, KA-RacIng e.V.
"We use EAGLE for a wide range of PCBs, e.g. the Battery Management System for the battery monitoring, motor control cards with CAN bus, fan controllers, an ABS control and even a brake light are already equipped on the PCB." –Max Neumann, elbflorace—TU Dresden.
"EAGLE has an intuitive user interface, which has made things much easier for me, despite being a beginner. I also think it is very clearly arranged and the forward-reverse annotation facilitates the layout, because it allows ideas which have already been incorporated into the circuit diagram to be directly transferred to the actual layout. The function to create new components also works flawlessly, while the standard packages made available all help make things even easier." –Sarah Schwöbel, municHMotorsport.
"Each module you can imagine, starting with a simple power adaptor via the motor control module up to the battery management system developed in-house, is developed by us using EAGLE. In this case, EAGLE is a one-stop solution. Firstly, it can be used to create circuit plans and layouts, ranging from simple to complex. EAGLE makes it child's play to optimize the size of the board or the general arrangement of components. Since elements such as the required training period and efficiency (one program for all) are our top priority, and the set-up has allowed all students, even those without any previous knowledge, to get to grips with the operation in just a few hours, the EAGLE software package from CadSoft has become a standard tool, which we cannot do without." –Felix Burmeister, Head of Students, E-Technik, SolarCar-Team, University of Applied Sciences in Bochum.
"We at the eCARus team prize EAGLE for the way it allows students a swift and hassle-free helping hand into the world of switching and PCB design." –Ludwig John, eCARus. Technical University in Munich.
"The simplicity of EAGLE combined with "just enough" sophistication, not to mention reasonable pricing, is what attracted me to move away from (a more expensive software) over to EAGLE recently." –Aerospace Defense Engineer
"EAGLE is an amazing program that when learned, virtually has no limit!"
–Electronic Hardware Designer
"Great Tech Support! Runs on multi-platform and a great user community." –Military Engineer
"Love the product for its versatile user interface and the intuitive linkage between graphic use and command line commands." –Brian Cassidy, Optus
"Before trying EAGLE, we had been using more sophisticated software (Cadence). EAGLE PCB software serves our needs perfectly and has all the functions we need for designing high quality boards at a value price." –Thomas Benoit, SERELEC
"What I like most about EAGLE is the flexibility it offers. With EAGLE ULPs there is no limit to what I can create designing PCB boards!" –Design Engineer
"I have used EAGLE for a long time and would never change. I know EAGLE works and I can trust this program." –Design Engineer
"I work in an R&D Department and EAGLE helps me do high quality, efficient designs with fast time-to-market!" –System Developer
"Teaching System Design became an easy job with EAGLE. It is easy to learn and enables professional PCB design. Students like to work with EAGLE and since this program is standard internationally it gives them an extra qualification after they graduate." –Assistant Professor
"With DesignLink I do not have to leave my development environment to get a direct overview of product availability and pricing. This saves time and makes my boss happy!" –Electronic Engineer
"I design my boards using EAGLE, buy the components via the integrated DesignLink and get them produced with the offered PCB Fabrication Service. This is just great!" –Layout Designer
"What I love about EAGLE is the support. Whenever I have a question I post it in the forum or ask the EAGLE expert by email or phone and I pay nothing for that support since it is for free!" –Electronic Engineer
