gerber conversion made easy
with gerber expert

The ability to reverse engineer Gerber data is critical since Gerber data is the most common format supplied to PCB manufacturers. All CAD designs are exported into Gerber files for production tooling and photo artwork generation. This may be the only data that can be readily obtained.

Gerber Expert solves this problem. Using its highly automated tools and processes you are able to quickly reverse engineer a set of Gerber files into usable file formats including Fat-f. The Fat-f file is an industry standard, generic CAD format that is owned by SIEMENS PLM Software. It can be used to import data into any of the SIEMENS Tecnomatix™ software for electronics manufacturing solutions such as Unicam FX, Test Expert and SIMATIC IT Traceability.
