FreePCB

FreePCB is a printed circuit board (PCB) electronic design automation program for Microsoft Windows, written by Allan Wright. It is free and open-source software released under a GNU General Public License.

The program supports up to 16 copper layers, both metric and customary units, and export of designs in RS-274X Gerber format. Boards can be partly or fully autorouted with the FreeRouting autorouter by using the FpcROUTE Specctra DSN design file translator.

FreePCB can run on Linux by using Wine and on Mac computers using Parallels Desktop for Mac, Virtual Box, or Wine via MacPorts.
