Fresh from the datasheet.
We work straight from the datasheet and directly from the manufacturer's drawings, so every dimension traces back to the source.
Almost no footprint in the wild is spec compliant — and a single bad footprint can fail an entire production run. Send us your component library and we hand back footprints your fab will love, coherent across your whole design, with none of the tedious work.
When we surveyed the footprints engineers actually use, the quality was poor: almost none were spec compliant, and these mistakes fail entire production runs, churn fabs and hurt yield. You give us your component library — we process every component and free your engineers from doing this tedious work.
We work straight from the datasheet and directly from the manufacturer's drawings, so every dimension traces back to the source.
Two different AI systems check every data point independently to ensure reliability. When they disagree, we review it manually — nothing lands in your library unverified.
Want to diverge from the standard — say, rounded pad corners as your house style? Feed your preferences into our agentic system and every footprint we deliver follows them. Need special metadata in your library, like links to your ERP system? We offer that too.
Your engineers get a usable footprint within 30 minutes. If we ever get something wrong, our 24-hour customer service has your back — and we accommodate even the weirdest of parts.
We want to show you what we do in action: here is the footprint we made next to the one our customer was using.
Rebuilt fresh from the manufacturer's drawing.
Drill diameter of pads 1 & 2 outside of allowed range (1.2 ± 0.2 mm)
Pad locations moved to nominal values (were only within tolerance)
Pin-1 pad made rectangular to mark orientation
Courtyard too close to the part and off-grid — redrawn
Outlines redrawn with standard strokes and offsets
Unclear pin-1 markers redrawn at the actual pin-1 location
Value and reference designators repositioned
Rebuilt from the datasheet: description, datasheet link, MPN, manufacturer, component height, package code, tags
| Category | Fix | Spec | Before | After |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pad geometry | Drill diameter of pads 1 & 2 outside of allowed range (1.2 ± 0.2 mm) | Datasheet | 1.4986 mm | 1.20 mm |
| Pad geometry | Pad locations moved to nominal values (were only within tolerance) | Datasheet | e.g. pad 3 at 10.16 mm | 10.20 mm nominal |
| Pad geometry | Pin-1 pad made rectangular to mark orientation | KLC | Circle | Rounded rectangle |
| Courtyard | Courtyard too close to the part and off-grid — redrawn | IPC-7351B / KLC | — | 0.50 mm clearance, 0.01 mm grid |
| Silkscreen & Fab | Outlines redrawn with standard strokes and offsets | KLC | 26 non-compliant graphics | 0.12 / 0.10 mm strokes |
| Silkscreen & Fab | Unclear pin-1 markers redrawn at the actual pin-1 location | KLC | Small silkscreen dot, fab intrusion beside pin 1 | Proper markers on both layers |
| Silkscreen & Fab | Value and reference designators repositioned | KLC | Overlapping value and reference designators | Value and reference designators moved outside the part |
| Metadata | Rebuilt from the datasheet: description, datasheet link, MPN, manufacturer, component height, package code, tags | KLC | Minimal tags only | 11 properties + full description |
Describe any electrical behavior, constraint or package. Stillwind resolves it against our proprietary component database and returns matching parts with source-backed specs.
Stillwind Builder gets you from an idea to a validated BOM in minutes — it formalizes system constraints and uses Stillwind Search to match them to exact components.
