With this viewer you can upload your Gerber files and have a 360 degree view of your PCB design. Launch the viewer to load your own design or view one of the example boards. You can get step-by-step instructions on this Instructable.
We developed the 3D Gerber Viewer using some emerging technologies, like HTML5 and WebGL, so unfortunately the viewer will not work in all browsers on all platforms. Here is what we recommend trying:
- Google Chrome: most recent release
- Firefox: most recent release
- *Note on Firefox: You may have to force enable WebGL
Note on privacy and intellectual property: We don’t save or store any of your Gerber files – not even temporarily. So whether you are working on an open source project or commercial project, you are safe using the 3D Gerber Viewer!
We are still working out minor bugs in the Gerber file parser and 3D renderer. We would appreciate your input, especially if you are experiencing any problems. If you can, provide us with enough details to fix what is broken – like a screen shot or the Gerber files you are using.
