FAQ
TAP to OBJ Conversion
What are TAP files?
TAP is an image format associated to the Gerber group of extensions, which is recognized as a de facto standard in the printed circuit board (PCB) industry. Gerber images can function as input files for photoplotters that are used in PCB fabrication, containing detailed 2D descriptions of aspects such as copper layers, solder masks, silkscreens etc. TAP images contain drilling data and are created with Orcad software. The format is also known as THRUHOLE.TAP
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.
