What is a Gerber File?

A gerber file is simply the format of the file you export the PCB to.
Gerber format is an open ASCII vector format for printed circuit board (PCB) designs.
it is actually used for the production of printed circuits, to trace electrical connections such as tracks, copper layers, solder mask, legend, drill data, etc.
The gerber file contains also information for drilling and milling the PCB.
These files are generated by circuit routing software (I use sprint layout 6) and are sent to PCB builders to be loaded into their machinery software to print PCB.
Typically, all these files are "zipped" into a single archive that is sent to the PCB producer.
The fabricator loads them into a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) system to prepare data for each step of the PCB production process.
