Gent, Belgium – August 29, 2016 – Pentalogix, a leading PCB CAM and test software company announces the completion
of its Gerber X2 input and output. Working closely with Ucamco, the developer of the Gerber format, Pentalogix has
successfully implemented Gerber X2. The output has been fully verified by Ucamco, who confirm it conforms to the X2
specification.
Ucamco launched Gerber X2 with a single goal in mind: to provide a robust, standardized method for automatically
transferring layout data and valuable PCB design information from CAD to CAM. Extended Gerber has always done a
great job of handling the first part; the image data. But now with Gerber X2, the PCB industry's de facto standard image
format is even better. That's because Gerber X2 offers a new format for the additional design data that is clear,
unequivocal and automatically machine-readable, and that fully supports the existing Gerber image data format. X2
maintains the trademark simplicity for which Gerber has always been known and used.
PentaLogix CEO Agustin Araujo commented: “Implementing Gerber X2 demonstrates our commitment to provide the
latest product enhancements to our customers. In Gerber X2, Ucamco have given a format that provides greater
transparency and information in the PCB fabrication data.”
Ucamco's Managing Director Karel Tavernier states: “Ucamco is honored that a well-respected company such as
Pentalogix implemented such a robust Gerber X2 output. By supporting X2 Pentalogix not only helps its customers to
remain abreast of technology, but is also a good corporate citizen helping the whole industry to move along the practical
path forward."
