DeepPCB API: Your PCB Design AI Agent

Transform Your PCB Design Workflow with Full API Integration

If you’re in PCB design, you know efficiency and adaptability are key. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce a game-changer: the DeepPCB API is here to make your design workflows faster and smoother.

For designers who’ve been navigating our web app (which is still available), this is a big shift. While the web app offers a simple way to place and route PCBs—uploading unrouted boards, getting them placed and routed, and downloading the solutions in your preferred file format—it isn’t always the best fit for production-grade demands.

The new API changes that. Let’s dive into what it means for your workflow.

What is the DeepPCB API?

The DeepPCB API lets you integrate our powerful PCB placement and routing tools directly into your existing design software. This means you no longer have to jump between tools or platforms.

It acts as your intelligent design partner, offering an enhanced, real-time collaborative experience, directly from your preferred design software interface. DeepPCB API is not just about automating tasks – it’s about working with an agent that actively generates, evaluates, and iterates designs taking into consideration your design constraints and needs.

Rather than providing a single fixed solution, our agent delivers multiple design options, each paired with key metrics, that highlight important trade-offs. This lets you make informed decisions, all while staying within your workspace.

Key Benefits

1. Seamless Integration: No more platform switching – work directly within your favorite design tools.
2. Lightning-Fast Results: Get optimized designs in seconds, not hours. 
3. Multiple Design Options: Explore various solutions with detailed trade-off analysis. 
4. Interactive Control: Stay in control with real-time monitoring and adjustment capabilities.

How You’ll Interact with the Agent

The DeepPCB agent is designed to guide you through an intuitive, adaptive workflow. Here’s how the process unfolds:

1. Board Upload. Submit your PCB design.
2. Receive Insights. The agent evaluates your design and flags potential warnings or errors.
3. Confirm and Stream Designs. The agent begins generating a stream of diverse design solutions within seconds to minutes, each optimized with unique trade-offs.
4. Explore Solutions. Review multiple designs, each annotated with detailed characteristics and performance metrics.
5. Make Informed Choices. Choose from our recommended designs or select the one that aligns best with your project goals.
6. Pause and Refine. Pause at any point to review progress. You can either resume from where you left off or refine your design and restart from the updated state.

This dynamic interaction ensures you’ll have a variety of solutions ready in minutes, enabling you to iterate quickly, make confident decisions, and keep your workflow moving seamlessly.

How to Start Using the API

1. Get Your API Key. After signing up on deeppcb.ai, ask us for an API key.
2. Integrate With Your Tool. Use our documentation, available here, to set up the API. (Or at app.deeppcb.ai/api-key if you have a DeepPCB account.)
3. Start Designing Smarter. Call the API to route and place boards directly from your workspace, saving time and boosting productivity.

How Much Does it Cost?

The DeepPCB API is the same price as the corresponding web app: for both placement and routing, jobs consume 0.50 AI Credit per minute (or equivalently, 30 AI credits per hour).

What’s Next?

The DeepPCB API isn’t just a product—it’s a vision for smarter, more adaptive PCB design workflows. Our focus is on continuous improvement, with plans for deeper customization, enhanced real-time controls, and more collaborative features.

We’re just at the beginning of a journey where intelligent agents and human creativity come together to redefine what’s possible in PCB design.
