FreePCB is a printed circuit board (PCB) electronic design automation program for Microsoft Windows, written by Allan Wright. It is free and open-source software released under a GNU General Public License.
Features
[edit | edit source]The program supports up to 16 copper layers, both metric and customary units, and export of designs in RS-274X Gerber format. Boards can be partly or fully autorouted with the FreeRouting[2] autorouter by using the FpcROUTE Specctra DSN design file translator.[citation needed]
Other operating systems
[edit | edit source]FreePCB can run on Linux by using Wine and on Mac computers using Parallels Desktop for Mac, Virtual Box, or Wine via MacPorts.[3][4]
