Exporting production files

Click the Generate manufacturing data button in the sidebar to open the manufacturing export wizard. The wizard walks you through three stages:

​
1. Build

The wizard checks for uncommitted changes and then builds your project to generate manufacturing outputs. Click Start Build to begin. You’ll see live progress as each build step completes.

​
2. Review

Once the build finishes, review your outputs across three tabs:
  • Gerber files - Visual preview of your PCB layers
  • BOM - Bill of materials with part pricing and stock availability
  • 3D Preview - 3D model of your assembled board
Mark each tab as reviewed by clicking the checkmark button. The wizard also runs post-build checks including verifying that gerber, BOM, and pick-and-place files were generated, and checking parts availability.

​
3. Export

After reviewing, the wizard shows a board summary and estimated cost breakdown (PCB fabrication, components, and assembly). Choose an export directory and click Export Files to generate:
  • Gerber files (.zip) - PCB layer artwork for fabrication
  • BOM (.csv) - Component list for procurement
  • Pick and place (.csv) - Component placement data for assembly
The exported files are ready to upload to JLCPCB. The wizard includes a direct link to their order page.
