Altium Designer (AD) is a printed circuit board (PCB) and electronic design automation software package for printed circuit boards. It is developed by American software company Altium Limited. Altium Designer was formerly named under the brand Protel.
ODB++ is a proprietary CAD-to-CAM data exchange format [1] used in the design and manufacture of electronic devices. Its purpose is to exchange printed circuit board design information between design and manufacturing and between design tools from different EDA/ECAD vendors. [2]
The Gerber format is an open, ASCII, vector format for printed circuit board (PCB) designs. [1] It is the de facto standard used by PCB industry software to describe the printed circuit board images: copper layers, solder mask, legend, drill data, etc. [2] [3] [4] The standard file extension is .GBR or .gbr [1] though other extensions like .GB, .geb or .gerber are also used.
Altium Limited is an American [4] [5] multinational software company that provides electronic design automation software to engineers who design printed circuit boards.Founded as Protel Systems Pty Ltd in Australia in 1985, [2] the company has regional headquarters in the United States, Australia, China, Europe, and Japan.
EasyEDA is a web-based electronic design automation (EDA) tool suite that enables hardware engineers to design, simulate, share (publicly and privately) and discuss schematics, simulations and printed circuit boards, and to create a bill of materials, Gerber files, pick and place files and documentary outputs in the file formats PDF, PNG, and SVG.
EAGLE saves Gerber and PostScript layout files as well as Excellon and Sieb & Meyer drill files. These are standard file formats accepted by PCB fabrication companies, but given EAGLE's typical user base of small design firms and hobbyists, many PCB fabricators and assembly shops also accept EAGLE board files (with extension .BRD) directly to ...
PCB NC drill files convey PCB drilling and routing information. The NC formats were originally designed by CNC drill and route machine vendors as proprietary input formats for their equipment, and are known under their company name: Excellon, Hitachi, Sieb & Meyer, Posalux, etc.
