Core offering

Accelerated Designs sells the OMNYA ECAD data management platform, which centralizes component, design, and corporate data with CAD-agnostic workflows across Cadence, Siemens, Altium, and KiCad, and native PLM/ERP integration deployable on-premise, in the cloud, or hybrid. It also operates Ultra Librarian, a free cloud-based ECAD content library with over 16 million vendor-verified models, symbols, footprints, 3D models, and reference designs used by 50,000+ engineers monthly, alongside EDA software solutions and the Virtual Librarian Service (VLS) for custom component libraries.

Product overview

Accelerated Designs, Inc. offers a portfolio of three core products and services centered on PCB and ECAD design optimization. The primary offering is OMNYA, a multi-CAD ECAD data management and integration platform that supports CAD-agnostic workflows across Cadence Design Systems, Siemens, Altium, and KiCad, and connects to PLM and ERP systems for centralized data orchestration. Complementing OMNYA is Ultra Librarian, the world's largest free cloud-based ECAD content library with over 16 million CAD models, 3D models, vendor-verified symbols, footprints, and reference designs, which also serves as a data enrichment source for OMNYA. The company additionally provides EDA software solutions customized to customer products and processes for design, analysis, verification, build, and maintenance. OMNYA and Ultra Librarian are designed to work together: OMNYA manages and orchestrates data workflows while Ultra Librarian provides the underlying CAD content library and component verification data.

Direct peers

• Altium (now part of Renesas Electronics): Altium is the most direct peer in PCB design tools and operates the Altium 365 component library ecosystem, overlapping directly with Ultra Librarian's content and OMNYA's CAD-native data management. It targets the same PCB design engineer base with a similar freemium-to-paid motion and has acquired SamacSys to extend its library offering.
• Zuken: Zuken's CR-8000 and eCADSTAR PCB platforms serve the same OEM/ODM customer base as OMNYA, with similar CAD-centric data management capabilities and component library services. It is a long-standing specialist competitor in the ECAD data and library management space.
• SnapEDA: SnapEDA is a direct competitor to Ultra Librarian, offering a cloud-based library of verified symbols, footprints, and 3D models for PCB designers. It targets the same engineering audience with a similar freemium content model and similar integrations with distributor inventory data.
• SamacSys (now part of Altium): SamacSys provides component content creation services and a CAD model library used by PCB designers — directly overlapping with Ultra Librarian's content offering. Now owned by Altium, it represents a competitive risk accelerated by a much larger parent's distribution.
• PCB Libraries (by IPC): PCB Libraries and IPC-2581 standard tooling serve the same PCB component library needs as Ultra Librarian, and IPC's Library Expert is a long-standing tool for generating footprints and symbols. It is comparable as a content authority and tool vendor in the PCB library ecosystem.

Broad incumbents

• Cadence Design Systems: Cadence is a broad EDA incumbent offering Allegro/OrCAD PCB design suites with its own component content libraries and PDM integrations. It is comparable as both a CAD integration partner of OMNYA and a competitive incumbent with far greater R&D resources that could bundle library and data management features into its own platform.
• Siemens EDA (formerly Mentor Graphics): Siemens EDA provides the Xpedition and PADS PCB suites plus Teamcenter PLM integration, directly overlapping with OMNYA's CAD-neutral ECAD-to-PLM positioning. As an integration partner and a deep-pocketed competitor, Siemens represents the most credible threat to bundle ECAD data management into its existing enterprise stack.

Emerging players

• Digi-Key Electronics: Digi-Key is both a distribution partner and an emerging competitor with its own ECAD model library and design tools (DK Red). Its scale and direct relationships with component manufacturers position it to compete in component content and design enablement.
• Mouser Electronics: Mouser is a channel partner that also offers design resources, component data, and CAD models directly to engineers through its website. As a top-tier distributor, it has the leverage to expand its own content platform in competition with Ultra Librarian's manufacturer placements.
• SiliconExpert (Patsnap): SiliconExpert provides component intelligence, lifecycle, and supply chain data that overlaps with the data enrichment layer of OMNYA and Ultra Librarian. It is comparable as a data provider integrated into OMNYA's workflow and as a standalone competitor in component data services.
