pcb2gcode is a command-line program for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux that calculates machine toolpaths from given PCB layouts. Despite it's name, it does NOT accept unix "pcb" files, but standard gerber RS274-X and Excellon files, and creates fully EMC2-compatible RS274-NGC files.pcb2gcode also offers an integrated autoleveller (similar to this one) that greatly increases the vertical precision. Since the tools used for milling are V-shaped, you can create thinner traces .
Gerber file to gcode converter
The hardest part of pcb2gcode is to create, once and for all, the millproject file, a file containing all the settings for the creation of the gcode. Since the settings are mostly linked to the milling machine and the bits, you can create the file once and share it between all your projects.You can find a sample file in the project page.
Altium Designer includes a PCB-to-Gerber file converter for standard RS-274X and X2 formats. Support for IPC-2581 Rev A and Rev B files can be created using the IPC2581 Extension. With Altium Designer, you can create and export your PCB layout and assembly data in these and other standard formats, and you can import native file formats from other EDA tools. You can then modify and export your design using the PCB-to-Gerber file converter. You can also export design data in other file formats that are preferred by different manufacturers. 2ff7e9595c
