Fritzing is an open source Windows application developed for engineers and designers. There is a set of tools and templates which help to create comprehensive circuits, diagrams and other illustrations.
Danger
Despite being an official and supported product, a well-known scanning platform VirusTotal detected malware in Fritzing. The installation file comes with numerous viruses that may damage drives and their components. Therefore, it is better to have an advanced security software or backup the data before running this program.
Projects
There is a wide range of editing tools, forms and objects in the catalog. Users can visualize their own ideas, create the prototype of various electronic products and save drawings. Like in Autodesk Inventor, it is possible to design detailed diagrams with numerous layouts. The difference here is Fritzing is mainly suitable for printed circuit board projects. There is an option to manage custom PCBs with organized schematic illustrations.
The software provides a realistic view of how components are combined together to create the whole product. You can achieve high quality images of how the objects will look after production. It is possible to save and share your works in well-known formats for collaborations and presentations.
