This software package takes the electrical design and the mechanical design of a foldable robot as inputs and outputs such drawing file that makes users ready to proceed the fabrication. We use the 2-D drawing file with extension of `dxf` to represent the electromechanical design of a foldable robot. Such drawing are designed to contain multiple layers meaning different fabrication types.

The software converts each wiring information into wiring patterns onto the mechanical drawing. The patterns can be tuned through user input. The default wiring pattern turns a single wire in the electrical design to a wider wire with three layers. The reason is to remove extra conductive material during the fabrication when users print such robot on a conductive material.

This software package takes user input of electrical netlist and mechanical design, outputs an electrical design file with wiring information. We utilize the auto-router [FreeRouting](https://freerouting.org/) to generate wiring information that can be passed to the DFM software package. We use the electrical design file with extension of `dsn` to represent the PCB layout. The package imports the mechanical design from a drawing, treats it as PCB outlines and wiring keepout areas.
