A Matrix Blob is a single zipped file, which contains a matrix file (matrix.fm6) plus all supporting CAM files (Gerber, Drill, ODB++, DXF, etc.). The Matrix blob is primarily used to transfer everything required to complete a job, over the web in single contained file. This is primarily used to interact with PcbPreflight.com

Note: Matrix file must be in the root folder of every Matrix Blob. That Matrix file must have extension (*.fm6). The matrix file name you choose will be referenced in PCB Preflight as the Job Input name.; All CAM files referenced in the matrix file must be relative to the root path.; Matrix Blob can have unlimted nested folders to store CAM files.

Example Matrix Blob Outline:
This sample Matrix blob outline demonstrates how files are placed. In the example the Matrix blob is being used to panelize 2 different PCB designs.

matrix.fm6 or matrix.xml          <---Always located in root folder of the Matrix blob
- MyPCBDesign_1    <---- This folder contains all gerber and drill files for one PCB design
- MyPCBDesign_2    <---- This folder contains all gerber and drill files for another different PCB design
