1. A computer system for dynamic electronic printed circuit board (PCB) design comprising:

  • a processor in communication with a memory;

    a design module in communication with the processor and memory, the memory comprising instructions to cause the design module to;

    identify a voltage split having a first geometric shape in a first layer of a PCB;

    dynamically create a first boundary in one or more adjacently positioned layers of the PCB with respect to the first layer, the first boundary having a second geometric shape corresponding to the first geometric shape;

    dynamically route a net having at least two pins in the PCB including determine a first route for one or more wires to connect the at least two pins;

    identifying a route exception including determine the first route intersects the first boundary in at least one of the adjacently positioned layers; and

    dynamically resolve the route exception; and

    a PCB model file generated by the design module, and manufacture the PCB from the generated file.
