Most designers and EDA vendors are probably unaware of the most recent update to the Gerber export formats from Ucamco. Quietly in 2020, Ucamco released an update to the Gerber format, with the new format known as Gerber X3. The new format looks a lot like the format, and unless your EDA software or CAM tool told you that you had a set of Gerber X3 files, you probably wouldn’t know it. So what’s the big deal with this format, and why should...
