Sprint layout 5 gerber export8/8/2023 It’s a great program, but a bit overkill for your needs. If you are struggling to create a cad file that you can export gerber files, check out Sprint Layout (the easiest by far but not free, but worth it ) Kicad is a fully fledged cad program and has a steeper learning curve, meaning it will take a bit longer to figure out on how to use it. Manufactures use CAM ( Computer Aided Manufacturing) software to import the gerber files, panelize and do manufacturing checks etc to get your gerber files into production. A waste of money, so gerber is the format everyone uses.īefore using a program, check that it has a gerber output menu. Manufactures can not accept cad only, becasue else they would have to own a licensed copy of every cad program out there so they could read your files and export to gerber. The free programs don’t always export gerber files. Gerber files are the industry standard which all manufactures accept.
