PCBA Partner Publishes Free Browser Tools for PCB Assembly Files
Summary
PCBA Partner has published a set of free engineering tools for checking the files a buyer sends with a PCB assembly request. The BOM and placement tools check files in the browser and need no sign-in.
What the tools cover
- BOM checker: quantities, manufacturer part numbers, DNP lines and repeated references.
- BOM version comparison: changed parts, DNP decisions, added or removed references.
- Pick-and-place checker: units, coordinates and board sides, with a comparison against the BOM.
- Placement coordinate converter: units, origins, rotations and reflections with a preview.
- Gerber viewer: inspection of fabrication layers.
- PCB assembly cost calculator: a budget range from a Gerber or board size, layers, quantity and part count.
Guides and compatibility
Six step-by-step guides explain how to use the tools. A compatibility note documents BOM and placement imports from KiCad 10.0.6.
What the tools do not do
The checks cover file consistency. They do not check component stock, and a clean result is not a design review. A firm quotation follows an engineering review of your files.
