What problem does it solve?
Analyzes KiCad PCB layouts to identify optimization opportunities across trace length, copper balance, thermal via placement, via count, and crosstalk risk, helping designers improve manufacturability and performance.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Trace Length analysis and scoring to reduce net lengths and improve performance.
- Copper Balance evaluation to balance copper distribution between faces for thermal and manufacturing consistency.
- Thermal Via recommendations near power components to improve heat dissipation.
- Via Optimization guidance to reduce unnecessary vias while maintaining signal integrity.
- Crosstalk risk checks for parallel traces with spacing guidance and routing suggestions.
Quick Start
Run the PCB optimization script on your KiCad project to generate a scoring report and actionable layout tweaks.
