Cuprum

Cuprum is your go-to tool for viewing Gerber image files, which are super important when working with circuit board designs. If you're on a Mac, this app makes it easy to check out these files, even if they have multiple layers!

Easy to Use Interface

The Cuprum interface is straightforward. You work from a single window that shows your Gerber files clearly. There's a handy import button that helps you load those .art files quickly. Plus, you can easily switch the layers panel on and off whenever you need.

Manage Your Layers

In the Cuprum Layers section, you get to see all the loaded .art files at once. You can choose which ones to display in the main area or hide them if you'd like. It also lets you assign specific functions for each image file and decide how they should attach.

Layer Functions Supported

Cuprum supports a ton of layer functions! These include copper, soldermask, legend, goldmask, silvermask, tinmask, carbonmask, peel-off, viatenting, viafill, glue options like keep-out areas and paste settings. It even covers heatsink setups and different types of pads!

Zooming Made Simple

You can easily zoom in and out with Cuprum's built-in shortcuts. It also has side rulers that show measurements in millimeters, mils, and inches—whatever works best for you!

Saving and Printing Options

If you've set everything up just right, you can save your layout in Cuprum's unique file format or send it straight to your printer. And if printing isn’t what you're after? No problem! You can save your graphic as a PDF right to your drive using the Print panel options.

QuickLook Integration

A cool feature of Cuprum is its QuickLook plug-in! This lets you preview those Gerber files directly in Finder without having to open the app every time. Just remember—you'll need to restart your computer or relaunch Finder for this change to kick in.
