HQ PCB plugin will help you:
- Extract key manufacturing parameters from your design
- Get real-time quotations from HQ PCB within KiCad
- Generate Gerber files and upload them to HQ PCB along with your personal board settings
Once the upload is complete, you can use the HQ DFM Gerber Viewer to double check your manufacturing files, adjust board parameters then add it to your HQ PCB cart directly.
When launching the plugin, the following parameters will be extracted from your KiCad design:
- Layer count
- Board size (x,y)
- Board thickness
- Minimum trace width/spacing
- Minimum drill hole size
Note: These parameters cannot be edited from the plugin as they are extracted directly from your KiCad design.
Click the "Update Price" button to get the latest pricing and lead time for your boards from HQ PCB.
You can modify other parameters (E.g. solder mask color, board quantity, etc.) at any time and re-quote the price with a click of a button. All the options are synced with HQ PCB.
Note: Some combinations are restricted (E.g. white silkscreen cannot be chosen with white solder mask).
Click the "Place Order" button to generate Gerber and NC drill files and upload them straight to HQ PCB's order page along with your board parameters.
Everything is in sync, so no additional adjustments are required. Of course, you are free to change the settings on the website and then proceed to order.
The following regions are supported:
- China mainland HQPCB
- For regions out of China, please use NextPCB plugin. The features are identical.
- Open the "Plugin and Content Manager" from the KiCad main window. Next, find "HQ PCB" from "KiCad official repository" and click install.
NextPCB is the overseas version of HQ PCB, supporting orders in Japan, Europe and U.S.A.
