What is BoardMint?

BoardMint is an automated platform designed for comprehensive Printed Circuit Board (PCB) review and validation. It performs 15 specialized checks, including clearance, thermal, signal integrity, power, BOM, EMC, safety, and manufacturing, against IPC and IEC standards. Users can upload various PCB design formats like KiCad, Altium, Eagle, Gerber, ODB++, and IPC-2581. The tool identifies issues, ranks them by severity, pinpoints their location on the board, cites the breaking IPC/IEC rule, and suggests AI-powered fixes with datasheet citations. This ensures design quality and compliance efficiently, often delivering results in under a minute. BoardMint also offers team collaboration features and an AI chat assistant for design context.

Best used for

Ideal for hardware engineers and PCB designers who need to quickly validate their PCB designs, ensure compliance with IPC/IEC standards, and identify potential issues before manufacturing. Especially valuable for accelerating design cycles and improving product reliability by catching errors early.

FAQs

What PCB file formats does BoardMint support?

BoardMint supports major PCB design formats including KiCad, Altium Designer, Eagle, Cadence OrCAD, Gerber RS-274X/X2, Excellon drill files, ODB++, IPC-2581, and BOM files in CSV/Excel format, ensuring broad compatibility for designers.

What design standards does BoardMint check against?

BoardMint validates designs against IPC-2221A for general PCB design, IEC 62368-1 for electrical safety (clearance and creepage), and IPC-2152 for current carrying capacity. It also includes checks for high-speed signal integrity, thermal management, and EMC compliance.

How is BoardMint different from built-in DRC tools in KiCad or Altium?

While KiCad and Altium offer basic DRC, BoardMint provides 15 specialized physics engines for advanced checks like safety (IEC 62368-1), thermal (IPC-2152), signal integrity, power integrity, EMC, and manufacturing. It also offers AI-powered fix suggestions.

Is BoardMint free to use?

Yes, BoardMint offers a free-forever plan that includes 2 GB storage, 3 public projects, and basic DRC checks. Paid plans start at $10/month for AI analysis, unlimited projects, and advanced validations, with no credit card required to start.
