What problem does it solves? Preparing a PCB design for manufacturing involves generating a multitude of files (Gerbers, drills, BOM, etc.) and packaging them correctly, a process that is often tedious and error-prone. This Skill automates the entire manufacturing package generation, ensuring all deliverables are correctly formatted and ready for submission to fabricators like JLCPCB, saving you time and reducing manufacturing errors.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Comprehensive File Generation: Automatically creates Gerbers, drill files, IPC-2581, 3D STEP models, and interactive HTML BOMs.
- Panelization: Integrates KiKit to panelize boards with V-cuts and fiducials, optimizing for cost-effective manufacturing.
- Manufacturing Notes & Packaging: Generates detailed manufacturing notes and zips all files into a single, ready-to-upload package.
- Use Case: Prepare your finished PCB design for production with a single command, ensuring all files meet manufacturer specifications and are easily traceable for assembly.
