Wat zijn goede software voor het ontwerpen van PCB's??

I usually work for PCB designing and know some useful design software. I want to know what design software you are using. Is there any high recommendation?

Voordat we u suggesties doen, Ik denk dat je misschien nadenkt over de volgende factoren.

  1. How much is your begroting?
  2. Are you use it for profession?
  3. Are you going to share my designs online?
  4. Or you are going to work on a single computer most of the time?
  5. Which operating system do you often use?

According to your answers, here are 12 suggesties:

Free & Web-based

Circuit Maker: Focused on sharing designs and knowledge in the community of users

123D Circuits: Includes 4 modules. Part of a large family of 3D design software.

Upverter: Partly focused on building a global library of verified components and footprints.

Easy EDA: Completely free for individuals and business

Free & Offline

KiCAD: Popular free EDA software

DesignSpark PCB: Free tools for electronic, mechanical and software design. Slightly focused on IoT projecten.

Fritizing: A nice breadboard to PCB transition tool.

PCB Web: Focused on the manufacturing process with a BOM tool, Digi-key part integration, enzovoort.

Not Free & Professional

Altium Designer: Costs a few thousand dollars. Mades to design FPGA, flex-board, enzovoort. (Windows only)
