  2. CircuitMaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CircuitMaker

    The continuously growing part database eliminates the need for a custom schematic symbol or footprint design for common parts, increasing user-friendliness for beginners. It is not possible to import component models from Altium Designer directly into CircuitMaker, [ 19 ] but there are community-supported workarounds to this limitation.

  3. Intermediate Data Format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate_Data_Format

    The format was devised by David Kehmeier at the Mentor Graphics Corporation. [1] The EMN File contains the PCB outline, the position of the parts, positions of holes and milling, keep out regions and keep in regions. The EMP file contains the outline and height of the parts.

  4. Printed circuit board - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printed_circuit_board

    A PCB milling machine (referred to as a 'PCB Prototyper') operates in a similar way to a plotter, receiving commands from the host software that control the position of the milling head in the x, y, and (if relevant) z axis. Laser resist ablation involves spraying black paint onto copper clad laminate, then placing the board into CNC laser ...

  5. Routing (electronic design automation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing_(electronic_design...

    Modern PCB design software typically provides "interactive routers"—the drafter selects a pad and clicks a few places to give the EDA tool an idea of where to go, and the EDA tool tries to place wires as close to that path as possible without violating design rule checking (DRC). Some more advanced interactive routers have "push and shove ...

  6. PCB (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCB_(software)

    This made PCB easier to use and increased its popularity. [1] Harry Eaton took over PCB development beginning with Release 1.5, although he contributed some code from Release 1.4.3. PCB includes a topological autorouter named Toporouter , developed by Anthony Blake in a Google -funded open source project mentored by DJ Delorie in 2008. [ 4 ]

  7. DipTrace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DipTrace

    DipTrace is a proprietary software suite for electronic design automation (EDA) used for electronic schematic capture and printed circuit board layouts. DipTrace has four applications: schematic editor, PCB editor with built-in shape-based autorouter and 3D preview, component editor (schematic symbol), and pattern editor (PCB footprint).

  8. KiCad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KiCad

    KiCad (/ ˈ k iː ˌ k æ d / KEE-kad [7]) is a free software suite for electronic design automation (EDA). It facilitates the design and simulation of electronic hardware for PCB manufacturing. It features an integrated environment for schematic capture, PCB layout, manufacturing file viewing, ngspice-provided SPICE simulation, and

  9. Gerber format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerber_format

    The Gerber format is an open, ASCII, vector format for printed circuit board (PCB) designs. [1] It is the de facto standard used by PCB industry software to describe the printed circuit board images: copper layers, solder mask, legend, drill data, etc. [2] [3] [4] The standard file extension is .GBR or .gbr [1] though other extensions like .GB, .geb or .gerber are also used.
