I built a tool that auto-generates Gerbers, BOM, DRC reports and 3D renders from your KiCad project [demo videos]
Hey r/KiCad,
I'm an electronics engineer and college professor — not a software developer. Just a regular KiCad user who got tired of the same ritual every time a board goes to fab:
- export Gerbers manually
- generate BOM
- run DRC/ERC, screenshot the results
- zip everything
- email to the client or fab house
- next revision → do it all again
- three months later → "wait, which version did we actually ship?"
So I built GoForFab. You upload your KiCad project, it generates all your outputs automatically — Gerbers, BOM, interactive BOM, DRC/ERC reports, schematic PDF, 3D renders — and puts everything in a clean dashboard tied to each version.
Two short demos:
- Dashboard overview: https://youtu.be/UYlCpIg6DBc
- Version management: https://youtu.be/W0H3eh3r8L0
It's free — sign up and start using it right now. No credit card, no trial, no catch.
I'm looking for honest feedback. What works, what doesn't, what's missing from a workflow you'd actually use day to day. I built this for people like me, so if something feels off I want to know.
Happy to answer any questions here.
