What problem does it solve?
Releasing a PCB design for manufacturing without thorough validation can lead to costly errors, rework, and delays. This Skill automates the critical validation process, performing comprehensive Design Rule Checks (DRC) and Design for Manufacturability (DFM) analysis, ensuring your completed PCB design is electrically sound, manufacturable, and ready for production with zero errors.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automated DRC: Runs KiCad's electrical design rule checks to catch clearance, via, and connectivity issues.
- DFM Compliance: Validates the design against manufacturer-specific rules (e.g., JLCPCB stackup, component placement, routing guidelines).
- Thermal & Signal Integrity Spot-Checks: Performs quick analyses to ensure thermal performance and high-speed signal quality.
- Use Case: Get a final "go/no-go" decision for your PCB design, generate a detailed verification report for audit trails, or ensure your board meets all manufacturing requirements before ordering.
