Switching to GDSFactory+ has streamlined our PIC design workflow by unifying layout, schematics, simulation, and analysis in one interface. Its Python integration enables custom models and advanced analysis that legacy EDA tools can't match. The SAX simulator is incredibly fast, and the support team has been excellent. GDS Factory+ is now essential to our modern PIC design process.
