FAQ
GBL to OBJ Conversion
What are GBL files?
A GBL file contains the descriptions of the bottom copper layer of a printed circuit board (PCB) and generally functions as an input file for a photoplotter used in the fabrication of such boards. The GBL format is part of the Gerber group, which includes over 20 extensions that function as standards in the PCB industry. Similar formats include GTS, GTL and GBS.
What are OBJ files?
OBJ is a 3D model format created by Wavefront Technologies for its Advanced Visualizer software and now supported by almost every 3D application, which makes it one of the most common formats for exchanging models. A file of this type is plain text that describes the shape of an object: the coordinates of its vertices, the texture coordinates used for UV mapping, the surface normals, and the faces that join them into polygons. Named groups divide a model into separate parts. Colors and materials are not stored in the file itself but in a separate .mtl file that it refers to, with the texture images kept alongside. The format holds a static model only, with no animation, bones, or lights.
