PCB Routing - Which Free Programs Are Best?

Question

Electronics

Tell me which free software is best for tracing printed circuit boards with the ability to export for ordering boards (for example, on Aliexpress).
At the same time, tell me where it is best to order and the nuances (in what format the trace is accepted, etc.)

Answer 1

Topor is very good
Topor Lite is free
easyelectronics.ru/kasha-s-topora-na-bulone-iz-orl... Everyone
has export.
Then, if anything, you can simply convert the exported file to another format.

Answer 2

Eagle CAD - free version only has two layers and a maximum area of ​​80 sq.cm. Quite powerful, what he can't do himself is done with the help of scripts. There are many ready-made libraries.
KiCad is completely free and open source. Knows about the same as Orel. In general, "KiCad vs Eagle" is a very cool topic, it's hard to say who is better. Try both, and decide for yourself what suits you best.
For production, you need a Gerber format. It is accepted by all board manufacturers, and export to it is available in all normal CADs.

Answer 3

What about KiCad or EasyEDA?

Answer 4

Eagle, which is recommended above, is already very old, and now it's not completely free either.
I am using Designspark PCB . There is a very large base of components + the ability to import from the eagle.
To order boards, you need to export to gerberas (this is a very ancient format), it is available in any software for tracing.
Sample design in DesighSpark PCB.

Answer 5

I like Kicad more, especially with Topor. I wrote a detailed article on how to breed boards.
