To make PCBs with Carbide Copper, we need to export gerber files in 247X format. The following cutters are built into Carbide Cutter: Number

Place the generated nc file in a convenient place on your computer.To save the gcode, Click Generate and save to disk.It adds significant machining time and is not necessary for most applications, so we’ll leave Generate Area Rubout unchecked. This is typically required in high frequency or high voltage designs, where the extra copper can alter electrical features. Click on Design at the top of the page and verify that the cutout doesn’t interfere with any traces or drills.Īrea Rubout removes copper from the board that isn’t part of the layout.Under Tool settings select the #102 endmill to cut the outline.Check the Generate Outline Cut box and enter dimensions for the board cutout.NOTE: You can also drag your drill file and drop it into the dotted window.
