The SparkFun PCB Panelizer plugin for KiCad 7 #KiCad @KiCad_pcb @SparkFun
SparkFun.com has released software to take a printed circuit board (PCB) and duplicate it into the size of panels used by PCB fabrication houses. Boards are separated by v-score grooves.
Open the KiCad Plugin and Content Manager (PCM) from the main window and filter for SparkFun Panelizer.
To install manually, open the GitHub Repo Releases page and download the SparkFunKiCadPanelizer-pcm.zip file attached to the latest release. Then use the PCM Install from File… option and select the .zip file to install it. For best results, Uninstall the previous version first, Apply Pending Changes, and then Install from File….
Install manually. The panelizer plugin runs inside the KiCad PCB Editor window. (Although you can run the panelizer in a Command Prompt too.)
The software is released under an open source MIT License. See more in the GitHub repo here.
