About

Trace is an AI-native PCB design platform that takes hardware teams from idea to manufactured board. It combines professional schematic capture and PCB layout tools with intelligent agents that understand hardware in context. Users describe what they want to build in natural language, and Trace can research the problem, generate hierarchical multi-sheet schematics, parse datasheets, suggest components, check real-time availability, place parts, route multi-layer boards, tune matched-length signals, and run ERC, DRC, and design reviews. Its component library includes more than 30,000 symbols and footprints, with sourcing data from major distributors. Plan Mode researches complex tasks, asks clarifying questions, creates a step-by-step plan, and executes only after approval, while TraceRules preserves component preferences, layout constraints, and manufacturing targets across conversations.

About

fabPlane is a desktop electronic design automation (EDA) workspace for creating and editing printed circuit boards with an AI agent. It bundles KiCad and works directly with existing KiCad project files, so users can open and continue working on .kicad_pro projects without importing or converting them. Designers can describe a board's purpose, sketch connections, or provide a reference, then use typed tools and review each proposed change as a diff before accepting or discarding it. After acceptance, fabPlane runs the autorouter and design-rule checks. The workflow also includes manufacturing checks, output generation, bills of materials, and purchase carts for supported fabrication houses and component distributors. fabPlane is free to download, with desktop builds for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It serves electronics and PCB designers, KiCad users, hardware teams, and open-hardware makers.
