2.8. Generate Production Data

Once the board is finished, you can generate the production data for the PCB manufacturer:

Generate Production Data

Here you can adjust some settings of the Gerber export. Generally you should determine what format your PCB manufacturer accepts. Many manufacturers accept Protel-style Gerber files, so if you’re unsure, click on the Protel naming button:

Production Data Generator

Then just click on the Generate Gerber & Excellon Files button and LibrePCB places the generated files in your project’s output subdirectory. These files are then sent your PCB manufacturer for production.

It’s highly recommended to cross-check the generated files with 3rd-party tools like gerbv or the reference gerber viewer. LibrePCB is not responsible for any implications caused by wrong production data.
