PCB is a tool for the layout of printed circuit boards. PCB can produce industry standard RS-274X and Excellon NC-Drill format output for submission to board manufacturers.

Features

  • PCB includes a rats nest feature, Blind and Buried vias, and Design Rule Checking.
  • PCB offers high end features such as an autorouter, a topological router and a trace optimizer which can tremendously reduce layout time.
  • Plug-ins: compile separately and load at startup of pcb.

User Reviews

  • Great project! Thanks for amazing work!
  • Very helpful, fast and easy product!
  • Awesome app, thanks for sharing!
  • most powerful EDA ever used in linux ... i choose it over fritzing and kicad...
  • I'm biased of course, since I'm one of the project's developers! I've done several complex boards in PCB, and find it is a very capable package, especially when compared to other, vastly more expensive tools.
