From the project
"Compile" kicad PCBs into files for ordering from JLCPCB
A scriptable CLI tool for generating JLCPCB manufacturing files directly from a KiCad PCB file.
It is designed for automated workflows and deterministic, CI-friendly PCB exports.
kicad-fab-export takes a KiCad PCB file (.kicadpcb`) as the single source of truth and generates JLCPCB-compatible manufacturing outputs:
