In summary, using free software in designing a case for a circuit board allows for greater flexibility, customization, and accessibility. It can also be just as effective as paid software, with popular options including KiCad, Fritzing, and Eagle PCB. However, there may be limitations in terms of advanced features and technical support. It is possible to combine free and paid software for a more comprehensive design process, but compatibility between programs should be considered.
