Photonic Etcher
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.
