TOP to STL Conversion: FAQ
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 STL files?
STL is the proprietary format for a computer-aided design (CAD) program developed by 3D Systems. STL is an acronym for Stereolitography, which is a type of technology used for creating prototypes or patterns through 3D printing. An STL file contains a surface representation of such a model, without detailed specifications of aspects such as colours. STL files can only be opened with a limited number of programs.
