kicad-panelizer

A simple script to create a v-scored panel of a KiCad board.

My original copy of this script is depreciated. Please use this instead: https://github.com/sej7278/kicad-panelizer

To use:

  1. Ensure you have KiCad 5.1.2+ installed
  2. Clone script to an appropriate location
  3. Configure options
    1. Change NUM_X and NUM_Y to the number of copies of the board in the x (horizontal) and y (vertical) direction.
    2. (optional) set v-score parameters to what you wish.
    3. Save script
  4. Open a terminal and cd to the directory of the script
  5. Run it with python 3: python3 panelizer.py /path/to/source_board.kicad_pcb
  6. Panelized output will be saved to the same directory as the source board, with the name {sourceboardname}_panelized.kicad_pcb
