Multi-CB can handle a variety of data formats for PCB manufacturing. Basically you can always send us ODB++ or Extended Gerber (RS-274X) + drilling data.
For the following printed circuit board software we offer the Gerber export as a free service:
- EAGLE
- Target 3001!
- KiCad
- Sprint layout
If you use our preferred data format when exporting, you benefit from an increased processing speed and avoid queries.
More information can be found here: PCB data types.
