About This Tool

The tool loads Gerber RS-274-X and Excellon drill data, parses layer content, and renders a multi-layer preview. It detects units (mm or inches) and origin, and it associates each copper, mask, or silkscreen layer with a distinct color to aid inspection. The uploaded files are validated for consistency and completeness before rendering.
The core engine converts Gerber commands into vector shapes, computes the board extents, and overlays drill data on the same canvas. It highlights mismatches such as missing copper layers, unexpected pad sizes, or misaligned drills, enabling quick triage of fabrication risks.
Users benefit from go/no-go data readiness with a single consolidated view, which reduces rework in manufacturing, supports panelization checks, and speeds handoffs to fabrication partners.
Key features include layer color coding, per-layer visibility, unit-aware scaling, and optional export of composite previews and data reports for archival and quality control.

How to Use

  1. Prepare Gerber and drill files for upload.
  2. Upload files to the tool and initiate parsing.
  3. Review the multi-layer preview and the validation log.
  4. Use export options to generate a composite preview or per-layer reports.
  5. Download results for fabrication handoff.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

Which file formats are supported?
The tool accepts Gerber RS-274-X files and Excellon drill data. It handles common variants and requires at least one copper or solder mask layer to render a meaningful preview.
What checks are performed during validation?
Checks include unit consistency (mm or inches), board outline bounds, presence of required copper layers, alignment between drill data and copper features, and detection of missing or duplicate features that impact fabrication.
Can I export the results for manufacturing?
Yes. The tool supports exporting a composite multi-layer preview, per-layer views, and a data report (JSON/CSV) suitable for archival and handoff workflows.
Is this suitable for production-grade verification?
It provides fabrication-readiness checks and data integrity validation but does not perform full electrical rule checks; use it as a pre-production screening step before CAM and fabrication reviews.
