[Cad] [Open Manufacturing] Which CAD Kernel Should the FOSS and OSHW Communities Focus On?

[Matthew Keeter]

Do you have any examples of declarative PCB design in industry?

I’m curious about what software tools folks are using for this kind of design;
in my experience, most hardware companies are using Altium or similar.

There is a wealth of graphical user interfaces, and one-off boards make great use of them, but this is by no means a summary of the entire field of PCB design :|
