YOKOHAMA, Japan and Westford, MA, Jan 22, 2026 – Zuken has released a free migration module developed with LogicSwap Solutions. The module lets Cadence OrCAD users move existing PCB designs, schematics, and libraries into eCADSTAR, Zuken’s internet-connected PCB design platform.

The software automates conversion of legacy OrCAD data into eCADSTAR-supported formats, reducing the effort and risk involved in tool migration. It allows customers to consolidate existing design data while updating EDA environments around eCADSTAR. LogicSwap provides the module at no cost to licensed eCADSTAR users through its website.
