FAQ
TOP to OBJ Conversion
What are TOP files?
A TOP image contains a 2-D vector representation of the top copper layer of a printed circuit board (PCB) created with Orcad software. The extension is part of a larger group called Gerber formats, which are used as a standard in the PCB industry. The 20+ formats included in this group describe different aspects of an electronic board, including copper layers, silkscreens, drilling data etc.
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.
