Another good reason to think about KiCad is if you care about open formats (vs. Altium for example.) CERN's own statement [1]: "We think that KiCad can do to PCB design what the gcc compiler did to software: ensure there are no artificial barriers to sharing so that design and development knowledge can flow more freely."

- akiselev 10y agoIronically, CERN has one of the best open source part libraries for Altium.
- cruser 10y agoThat's really cool of them. Where can I find this library? Googling led me to the two sites below, but there's no download location in them.

- cruser 10y agoI found a 460MB CERN_ALTIUM_LIB_july_2014.7z file on torrent sites. Is this what you're talking about?
