Fritzing is an open source project designed to help one transition from a prototype to a finished project. Aimed at users who want to produce or document circuits and experiments, one starts by building a physical prototype, then recreating it with Fritzing’s graphical editor. From there one can generate a schematic, PCB artwork, and PCB production files.

Program gerbv służy do przeglądania plików Gerber RS-274X, plików z rozmiarami wierteł Excellon oraz plików CSV dla plików "pick-and-place (wybierz-i-umieść). Pliki Gerber są wykorzystywane do przekazywania projektów płytek z obwodami drukowanymi (PCB) producentom płytek drukowanych.

Kicad to zestaw programów do tworzenia płytek drukowanych. Zawiera edytor schematów, narzędzie do składania płytek drukowanych (PCB), narzędzia do obsługi i trójwymiarowego przeglądania płytek drukowanych w ostatecznej formie.

Kicad składa się z 5 głównych elementów:

  • kicad - menedżer projektu;
  • eeschema - edytor schematów;
  • pcbnew - edytor płytek drukowanych (PCB);
  • gerbview - przeglądarka ERBER;
  • cvpcb - selektor wyprowadzeń elementów elektronicznych.

Biblioteki:

  • Zarówno eeschema jak i pcbnew posiadają menedżerów bibliotek oraz edytory do własnych elementów elektronicznych i ich wyprowadzeń;
  • Umożliwiają łatwe tworzenie, edytowanie, usuwanie jak i wymienianie elementów elektronicznych bibliotek;
  • Umożliwiają kojarzenie plików dokumentacji z elementami, wyprowadzeniami elementów i słowami kluczowymi, pozwalającymi na szybkie wyszukiwanie według funkcji;
  • Udostępniają spore zasoby elementów elektronicznych i ich wyprowadzeń;
  • Zawierają elementy, z których większość posiada odpowiadające im modele 3D.
