Download VeroCAD free 3 Veroboard for prototyping. A quick and simple tool for prototyping with perforated circuit boards. Select components from a built in library, place and arrange the parts by pin or groups of pins. Add trace cuts and shorts then either print a component locator label to identify and locate parts on a pre-perforated circuit board or export a net list for use in a commercial PCB package.

The use of Veroboard for prototyping circuits is common among hobbyists and professionals. One common method used is called “best guess”, this method is to position the components on the board then rearrange each or all until the best position is found. “best guess” is extremely time consuming and prone to error. VeroCAD addresses this issue by allowing the builder to visually layout the board and reposition components with a click of a button. So what did take 3 hours can now be achieved in 3 minutes. When the design is complete the layout can be printed to a label, this label is then attached to the perf-board and used as the hole and component locator. Not only can the board be laid out in a fraction of the time, it can also be assembled quickly and accurately.

The use of perforated circuit boards for prototyping designs is common among hobbyists and professionals.
