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.

Our PCB manufacturing capabilities range from simple PCB prototypes to advanced PCBs with tight tolerances, high layer count (up to 40 layers), heavy copper (up to 20 oz.), and more.

A circuit board, also known as printed circuit board or PCB, can be found inside every electronic device in today’s world. In fact, the circuit board is considered the foundation of electronic devices because it is where the individual components are held in place and interconnected to make the electronic device work as intended.

AdvancedPCB is your one-stop solution for full service PCB fabrication and quickturn PCB Assembly under one roof. Getting an instant quote for printed circuit boards from AdvancedPCB is easy and knowing which parameters affect your PCB fabrication cost is even easier.

AdvancedPCB has been a pioneer in the printed circuit board manufacturing industry since 1989, always innovating to create the best quality, service, and fast turn times with expanded capabilities. We have grown to become North America’s third largest PCB manufacturer with three state-of-the-art facilities in Colorado, Arizona, and Minnesota.

Cheap PCB sourcing from less than reputable vendors can be costly. Poor quality standards is a typical issue, but there are other important factors to take into consideration, such as turnaround time, consistency, and service.

AdvancedPCB is North America’s leading One-Stop solution for PCB fabrication and PCB Assembly under one roof. Our seamless process from PCB to Assembly was created to eliminate the need to manage different vendors for your turnkey prototyping needs.
