Welcome

The Numerical Innovations Matrix File allows people to easily automate and prepare their electronic designs for manufacturing. The matrix file is very customizable and you can make it do just about any Gerber/CAM related task including: DFM Checks, Panelization, Editing, Exporting, and much more. A matrix file is just a text file, with structured arrays. Here's a sample Matrix file >

Note

All Matrix Files must end with *.fm6

Matrix files are read and processed in sequence from Top-to-Bottom. Thus Layers must be defined before Jobs, Jobs must be defined before Panel, etc.

Matrix files are compatible with FAB 3000, ACE Translator 3000, CAM Library, and Cloud DFM.

Matrix Files can be Inserted into other matrix files.

When Exporting files, RELATIVE paths are always preferred and much safer.

Sample Matrix Files:

• Import Gerber and Drill files, then output Images.
• Output Realistic Photo Images of PCB bareboard.
• Using NCTOOLS array
• Run a DFM Check and output both Text and PDF Reports. Includes optional ODB++ export.
• Panelize and Merge with 3 different PCB Designs. Export Gerber and Drill.
• Add Objects to a Panel and Export Gerber
• Build Panel with Rails and Venting
• Add Coupon
• Using Active Layer
• Create a Panel by inserting JOB and Matrix files
