SoloPCB-Designer 2.0, the free PCB design software reached a milestone today when the 5,000th download of the software was completed. SoloPCB Designer, the Windows-based PCB design software found at Solo-Labs.com, consists of powerful schematic capture and PCB Layout modules. SoloPCB Designer provides all the capability to meet the most challenging design requirements, with the features and functionality of high-end commercial systems blended into an easy-to-use system.
Version 2.0 is free to download and use. Customers only pay a small, one-time fee to purchase Gerber or Drill files once they complete their design. Once ordered, Solo-Labs generates the files, sends them to the user and the user chooses a manufacturer to purchase the physical printed circuit boards.
Ordering is easy from within the software and pricing starts at $49 (US) for 2 layer board CAM file sets, $99 (US) for 4 layer CAM file sets, and $149 (US) for 6+ layers.
