Streamlining Hardware Development with a Real-Time Word Add-in for Valispace

MetaDesign Solutions developed an advanced Word Add-in for Valispace, enabling real-time synchronization of engineering data in Word documents.

C# · JavaScript · TypeScript
Client: Valispace (Altium)
Collaborative Engineering Word Add-in for Valispace

Project Overview

MetaDesign Solutions developed an advanced Word Add-in for Valispace, migrating from VSTO to the modern Office Add-ins framework using JavaScript and TypeScript. The solution enables seamless integration of real-time engineering data into Word documents.

Solution Scope and Services

Advanced Word Add-in development using JavaScript and TypeScript, migrating from VSTO to Office Add-ins framework for seamless Valispace data integration into Word documents.

Cross-Platform Office Add-ins

The shift to Office Add-ins technology enabled compatibility across Word 365, Mac, and earlier versions, including air-gapped systems.
