Advanced PCB Design in KiCAD

We will be centering on some advanced skills of PCB design including design rules according to different manufacturers, how to and what files you need to export in order to print and manufacture your board, and finally different steps of manufacturing that can contribute to costs, time, and potential faults. As always all are welcome!
