Tracgen
Describe a circuit board and get back one you can manufacture
Description
Give Tracgen a description of a hardware product (in plain English, as uploaded spec documents, or both) and it designs a PCB you can have made. You get the schematic, a placed and routed board, verification reports, and a full manufacturing package with Gerbers, drill files, a priced BOM, pick-and-place files and PDFs.
It runs on its own from start to finish, with two places it stops for a person: a quick confirmation of the board spec near the start, and a required review of the schematic. After you approve the schematic, footprints, board setup, placement, routing, DRC and outputs all happen automatically. Everything it produces is a native KiCad file checked with kicad-cli, so you can open and edit the design in KiCad like any other project.
Features
- Schematic, layout, routing, DRC and manufacturing package, all automated
- Native KiCad files throughout, checked with kicad-cli and routed with freerouting
- Live part sourcing and pricing through Nexar, Digi-Key and Mouser
- Two human checkpoints: confirm the spec, then approve the schematic
