Have you ever thought that when you complete the design on KiCad, you can place an order on pcbway with just one click?

When you click PCBWay Plug-in button on Kicad, we will export these files in your project：

1.Gerber files in correct format for production

2.IPC-Netlist file

3.Bom-file that includes all information of components

You can click “Save to Cart” to place an order immediately after uploading the files( usually only takes a few seconds), our engineers will double check the files before the production.
