From board to your door
Manufacturing
A Koppar design ends in something a fab and an assembler accept: a bill of materials priced from real stock, fab files released only when KiCad finds nothing wrong, and a handoff to the manufacturer you pick.
Released only when the board is clean
Gerbers, drill files, IPC-2581, ODB++ and the order package come out only when KiCad reports zero DRC errors and nothing unconnected. A board that is close is not shipped as done: you get the DRC report and the open nets, and the studio's agent works on it with you.
A bill of materials priced from real stock
- Every line is matched to a listing from Mouser or JLCPCB's parts catalogue (LCSC).
- Priced at your quantity: the price break that covers your board count, rounded up to the seller's minimum order.
- Stock shown per line. Parts you can buy rank first; a line with no stock left is flagged, never silently dropped.
- Up to three alternates per line (cheaper, more stock, JLCPCB basic library, second source). Pin one and the files follow.
- LCSC part numbers written into the assembly BOM and the KiCad files.
Pick a manufacturer
- AISLER
- One click, no AISLER account needed. The board files (Gerbers, drills, ODB++, a netlist) and the part placement are uploaded, and you land on your project on AISLER to pick options and order.
- PCBWay
- A live board quote in the studio from PCBWay’s partner API, so the order total includes the boards. The order is placed and paid on PCBWay with the files; assembly is added on PCBWay’s side.
- JLCPCB
- The order package for JLCPCB’s assembly service: Gerbers, a pick-and-place file and an assembly BOM that already carries LCSC part numbers, so the parts match without a manual search. Basic-library parts are preferred, since every extended part adds a setup fee.
- Any other fab
- Gerbers, IPC-2581, ODB++, pick and place and an assembly BOM in the common CSV formats: the files every fab and assembler reads, MacroFab included.
Nothing is sent anywhere without you: every handoff starts from your click, after you confirm the upload.
