Gerber files are the industry’s preferred file format for manufacturing printed circuit boards. Most PCB design software has the ability to output the design data in Gerber format to represent a design’s copper layer images, solder mask, legend, and drill and route data accurately.

In order for most PCB manufacturers to be able to fabricate your PCB design, Gerber files are required. Below we have listed some tips on the types of files that need to be exported from your PCB design software.

AdvancedPCB provides some of the most advanced PCB manufacturing capabilities in the industry, including multilayer PCB manufacturing up to 40 layers. Our PCB fabrication solutions range from the simplest designs to the most rigorous requirements for medical, commercial, defense, and aerospace applications.
