Introduction to PCB Design with Altium Designer

Once a prototype works on a breadboard, the next step is a proper PCB. KiCad is a powerful, free tool to get you there.

The workflow

  1. Draw the schematic
  2. Assign footprints
  3. Lay out the board
  4. Route the traces
  5. Export Gerbers and order

Your first board is a milestone — take it slow and double-check your footprints before ordering.
