-PCB CAM Files
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-PCB design (artwork) files are most often stored in `Gerber` files. This is
-a generic term that may refer to `RS-274X (Gerber) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerber_format>`_,
-`ODB++ <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ODB%2B%2B>`_ , or `Excellon <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excellon_format>`_
-files. These file formats are used by the CNC equipment used to manufacutre PCBs.
