Photonic Etcher

Contributors Forks Stargazers Issues MIT License

Photonic Etcher is a browser-based tool for converting gerber files into "printable" exposure files for Anycubic Photon SLA 3D printers. This allows you to use your SLA printer to do photo-lithography without the need for transparency sheets or a separate UV light source.

Features

  • Automatic layer identification & full-board preview (thanks tracespace!)
  • Output any gerber layer type
  • PCB Preview Rendered into file thumbnail
  • Flip output (horizontal and vertical)
  • Configurable exposure times per layer
  • Invert mask per layer (for photo-positive vs. photo-negative processes)
  • Subtract drill layers from output (to see where to manually drill holes)
  • Configurable anchor corner and jig offsets (allows repeatable etching for multi-layer processes e.g. copper & solder mask)

Formats Currently Supported

  • AnyCubic Photon Ultra (.dlp)
  • AnyCubic Photon M3 (.pm3)
  • AnyCubic Photon M3 Max (.pm3m)
  • AnyCubic Photon Mono SQ (.pwsq)
  • AnyCubic Photon Zero (.pw0)
  • AnyCubic Photon Mono 4K (.pwma)
  • AnyCubic Photon Mono X 6K & Photon M3 Plus (.pwmb)
  • AnyCubic Photon Mono (.pwmo)
  • AnyCubic Photon Mono SE (.pwms)
  • AnyCubic Photon Mono X (.pwmx)
  • AnyCubic Photon & Photon S (.pws)
  • AnyCubic Photon X (.pwx)

If you're interested in support for additional formats, open an issue, and I'll look into it.
