Abstract
An aspect of the disclosed embodiments is a system for printed circuit board (PCB) outline generation including at least one processor configured to receive one or more electronic PCB design files defining a PCB design. The at least one processor is also configured to process the one or more electronic PCB design files to distinguish physical features of the PCB design from non-physical (auxiliary) features of the PCB design. The at least one processor is also configured to generate an estimated physical outline for the PCB design that encompasses the physical features and excludes the auxiliary features. The at least one processor is also configured to electronically store the estimated physical outline in association with the PCB design. Other aspects are included.
