// ECAD BOARD VIEWER

KiCad, in the browser

Native .kicad_pcb and .kicad_sch files render directly here — interactive layers, nets, and footprints, no KiCad install and nothing uploaded to a server. Powered by KiCanvas, self-hosted and wired into the openIE ECAD stack as the 2D companion to the WebGPU 3D viewer at cad.openie.dev/app.

Open a .kicad_pcb / .kicad_sch

Everything runs client-side — your board never leaves the browser.

No round-trip

The same KiCad files openIE imports through cad-interop render here unchanged — no conversion, no screenshot, no server hop.

2D + 3D, one stack

KiCanvas covers fast 2D layer/net inspection; the WebGPU viewer at /app covers 3D bodies, simulation overlays, and BOM.

Self-hosted, MIT

KiCanvas is vendored locally (MIT) — no external CDN, no tracking, works offline alongside the rest of the openIE open stack.
