The most difficult test: the file contains more then 25 different Some of the errors: PCBMill (cncdrive) - Fail! Test #4 - Gerber file with macro apertures with parameters: Gerber_test3.zip PhCNC Demo (Accurate CNC) - Excellent results! CircuitCAM (lpkf) - Excellent results! CircuitPRO v1.4 (lpkf) - Excellent results! IsoPro (t-tech) - Good results!ĭesign Pro 1.1.12.2 (mits) - Excellent results! PCAM (everprecision) - Fail!ĭeckCNC/DeckPCB (deckcnc): Good results! CopperCAM (galaad) - Fail! PCBMill (CNCdrive) - Fail! Test #3 - Simple gerber file2: Wrong insulation paths: PCAM (everprecision) - Fail! NOTE: Unfortunately without the key it was not possible to test theĭesign Pro 1.1.12.2 (mits) - Good results (1 problem)!

The used macro apertures are without parameters (the most Test #1 - Gerber file with macro apertures: With any CAD system following the RS274-X specifications. PhCNC successfully manages all Extended Gerber files, generated Actually, only the latest CAD /ĬAM systems use some of the new functionalities, but thisĭoesn’t mean that your prototyping software shouldn't have them Gerber standard RS274-X is de facto industrial standard with aīig variety of possibilities. All of the used software isĪvailable for download from the sites of the relative companiesĪpplied are also links for download of the software and the The results are visualized through a series of screens and shownĪs a summary in the table below. In the processing of Gerber files, we produced a number of testsĪnd compared it with CircuitCAM/CircuitPRO We include all the necessary information in order to allowĪnyone interested to be able to prove it for themselves.Īiming to show the level of our software PhCNC Tests may look like a simple commercial for our product but they Parameters that include size, rotation, modifications etc. Repeated use (like a rubber stamp) and especially “macros” with
Ready made shapes with a very short description designed for The problem comes with the relatively new usage of “macros”, Include them in the output (so called post process files). Platforms have adopted the new features of extended Gerber and It is #1 “must have” for any PCB prototyping software to be able And manufacturing the tool that carried the board informationĪround the world has evolved.
