Introduction
Inside many electronic devices is a PCB onto which components are connected. These PCBs may be designed using a computer-aided design (CAD) system. One way to physically realize a design is to transfer the computerized design information to a photolithographic computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) system. Gerber is a widely used file format for performing this transfer. Once the bare board is fabricated the Gerber file plays no role in the final assembly of components onto the board.

Famous quotes containing the word introduction:
“The role of the stepmother is the most difficult of all, because you can’t ever just be. You’re constantly being tested—by the children, the neighbors, your husband, the relatives, old friends who knew the children’s parents in their first marriage, and by yourself.”
—Anonymous Stepparent. Making It as a Stepparent, by Claire Berman, introduction (1980, repr. 1986)
“My objection to Liberalism is this—that it is the introduction into the practical business of life of the highest kind—namely, politics—of philosophical ideas instead of political principles.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“Such is oftenest the young man’s introduction to the forest, and the most original part of himself. He goes thither at first as a hunter and fisher, until at last, if he has the seeds of a better life in him, he distinguishes his proper objects, as a poet or naturalist it may be, and leaves the gun and fish-pole behind. The mass of men are still and always young in this respect.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
