external-dfm

What problem does it solve?

Provides external DFM analysis for PCBs by running KiBot and Tracespace in Docker to validate manufacturing data, complementing internal checks.

Core Features & Use Cases

• KiBot DRC, ERC, and design report validation
• Tracespace gerber validation
• BOM cross-check against a reference BOM
• Output artifacts stored under external-dfm-output
• Use case: after internal verify passes, run external verification for a second opinion on manufacturability.

Quick Start

Run the external DFM script to spin up the container and execute all checks against the current KiCad project.
