Reading through the proteledaforum mailing list the past few days it has
come to my attention that most people supply gerber files to their PCB
manufacturer. This came as a bit of a surprise as I (and all other designers
at our company) have always supplied the PCB file to our manufacturer and
let them generate the gerber files. I thought this was how most people did
it.
We never get calls to explain details and have had no incorrect PCBs
supplied, except for one occasion where 1.6mm thick stock was used instead
of 0.8mm, this was clearly specified on our order/quote, and was therefore
corrected at their expense.
So my question is why do it? What are the advantages of sending gerber as
opposed to PCB files?
Tom.
