KiCad – Electronic Design Software

KiCAD is a Cross Platform and Open Source Electronics Design Automation Suite. We found that its functionality is well above productivity level. We have successfully designed many schematics and PCB-s with this tool, exported the 3D result as STEP file to verify how it does fit into the mechanical model.

Since we have decided to use this tool as our main product development electronics design tool, 2019 is the 3’rd year we have supported the KiCAD development. CERN & Society Foundation takes great care of transparent funding of the project. We have nicely asked for invoice prior donation and received one.

You will find KiCAD from its home page http://www.kicad-pcb.org/
