Who it is for
- Makers and hobbyists who know what they want to build and do not want to learn schematic capture first.
- Firmware and software engineers who need a carrier board, a sensor board or a dev board, and have no layout engineer to hand it to.
- Hardware teams who want a first revision in an afternoon and a KiCad project to take over from there.
- Agent builders who want to drive the pipeline from Claude Code, an MCP client or a script. See Your own agent.
What you get
Schematic
A multi-sheet
.kicad_sch with real library symbols, one sheet per function on larger designs.Board
A
.kicad_pcb with footprints placed, every net routed, ground and power poured, 2 or 4 copper layers (1 to 8 when stated).Checks
Electrical rules on the schematic, KiCad DRC on the board, connectivity on every net. The report lists what is left, if anything.
Fab files
Gerbers, drill files, IPC-2581, ODB++, a priced BOM, a pick-and-place file and an assembly bundle. Released only when the board passes.
The rule that defines the product
Fab files are released only when the board has zero DRC errors and every net is connected. A board that is mostly routed is reported as such, with the list of what is missing. It never reaches a fab as “done”.Where to go next
