FAQ
SMT to OBJ Conversion
What are SMT files?
SMT is a Gerber file used as a standardized format for describing the top solder mask of a printed circuit board (PCB). Several other formats are included in the Gerber family to describe layers or relevant data related to PCBs, such as PLS, DRD or TOP. SMT files are created with Orcad software and usually serve as input files for photoplotters or similar equipment that produces PCBs.
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.
