GerberStasis services were designed to provide flexible cost options to companies seeking to develop a comprehensive back up plan for their legacy film libraries.

While scanning films to TIF or JPEG files creates a software image, it also increases the cost to convert that image to a usable Gerber file for future production.

Precision Images, LLC offers a strategic approach to legacy archiving that allows the customer to select the backup version based on the probability of the PCB being manufactured in the future.

For as little as $5.00 per layer you can achieve the following benefits:

• Dimensional and feature size accuracy.
• PCB industry’s standard data format.
• Photoplot images for continued reverse engineering on any scanning system.
• Import to Gerber CAD/CAM systems as reference layers.
• Import to many PCB design programs as reference layers.
• Convert to DXF for import into AutoCAD as reference.

And a Reduction In:

• Expense
• Management
• Square Footage Necessary for Storage
• Backup Requirements
• Cost of Taking to Manufacturing
   

For the films that you have high confidence will not be manufactured in the future, we can provide scanning to TIF or JPEG at very competitive rates.
