The fastest way from idea to manufactured printed circuit board.
Circuit boards are in everything. Every phone, every medical device, every robot. But designing them still takes weeks of manual engineering and thousands of dollars - even for straightforward boards.
Trace sits at the design layer for modern hardware teams. It handles the full PCB workflow so they don't have to. From concept through block diagram, schematic capture, datasheet parsing, component selection, placement, layout, routing, DRC, and Gerber export. Import your enclosure (DXF/STEP) to keep board and case aligned. You define what to build - AI agents handle how.
Language + Graphical Reasoning
Describe what you want to build. Components, connections, constraints. Our language + graphical reasoning model understands hardware workflows in context, converts your description into circuit block diagram.
Component Selection
No more context switching. Trace agents parse datasheets, suggest components, and check real-time availability from JLCPCB, LCSC, DigiKey, Mouser, Texas Instruments, Amazon, and Nexar/Octopart. Works for pros and hobbyists alike—filter by SMT, through-hole, or hand-solderable.
Fast Edits & Suggestions
Automated placement on multi-layer boards and routing with fast edits and layout suggestions. Our Trace Block format abstracts away low-level complexity, so we can optimize across your entire project.
Ready to Fabricate
Import existing KiCad designs for AI-native review. Catch issues early before costly board spins. Export clean Gerbers, BOM, and assembly docs with DFM validation. Direct fab house integration. Send to your fab house (or our partner fab houses) in one click.

Wearables, smart home devices, sensors. Fast iteration cycles for connected products that need to ship quickly.
We know you have questions. Here's what hardware teams ask us most.
Trace supports up to 32-layer PCBs with intelligent layer stackup recommendations. Our AI understands impedance requirements, power plane placement, and signal integrity constraints. It automatically routes high-speed differential pairs, manages via stitching, and optimizes copper pours for thermal and EMI performance.
