Engineering Specifications & Features

Sub-50ms render engine for complex 16-layer PCB Gerber RS-274X and X2 datasets
Precision Excellon NC drill file parser with plated vs unplated hole distinction
Automated DRC engine: flags clearance violations, minimum trace widths, and missing solder mask
3D board preview with realistic copper plating, soldermask color preview, and silkscreen layers
BOM cross-referencing and pick-and-place centroid coordinate verification
High-resolution PNG/SVG vector export for technical manufacturing documentation

Graphical Interface (GUI) Architecture

Multi-layer visibility stack with opacity sliders, layer color customization, distance measurement caliper tool, and 3D board rotation canvas.

Headless CLI Reference & Execution

GerberX QuickViewer includes a headless command-line binary ready for automation pipelines, cron daemons, and CI/CD runners:

# Headless command execution:
gerberx --load-dir ./gerbers/ --drc-check --min-clearance 0.15mm --export-report drc_report.json
# Cryptographic node-lock activation:
gerberx --activate YOUR-CROCKFORD-KEY

Core Architecture & Asymmetric Security

Hardware-accelerated OpenGL 3.3 vector rasterizer using polygon tesselation and spatial bounding volume hierarchies (BVH) for instant zooming.
