Design in KiCad, Quote with AIVON: A Faster Path to PCB Prototyping (Sponsored)

Finished your PCB layout in KiCad? You don’t necessarily need to leave the PCB Editor, export a separate set of manufacturing files, and manually upload them to a PCB manufacturer. AIVON’s KiCad Plugin creates a direct path from your PCB design to an online PCB quote. AIVON has integrated an official KiCad plugin that connects a finished PCB layout to the company’s online quotation page. After DRC, users can click the plugin in the PCB Editor, automatically prepare manufacturing data, and land on a pre-filled quote form instead of exporting, zipping, and uploading files by hand. Rather than introducing a new plugin framework, AIVON’s integration leverages KiCad’s existing Plugin and Content Manager ecosystem. For developers who already use KiCad for schematic capture and PCB layout, the integration provides another way to connect the design stage with PCB fabrication without manually repeating every manufacturing-file preparation step. Connecting KiCad PCB Design with [...]
