# Manufacturing Files for PCBWay
## Required Files for PCB + Assembly Order
### 1. Gerber Files (from KiCad)
Export from KiCad PCB editor: `File → Fabrication Outputs → Gerbers`
Required layers:
- `SN-L00-F_Cu.gbr` - Front copper
- `SN-L00-B_Cu.gbr` - Back copper
- `SN-L00-F_SilkS.gbr` - Front silkscreen
- `SN-L00-B_SilkS.gbr` - Back silkscreen
- `SN-L00-F_Mask.gbr` - Front soldermask
- `SN-L00-B_Mask.gbr` - Back soldermask
- `SN-L00-Edge_Cuts.gbr` - Board outline
- `SN-L00-PTH.drl` - Plated through holes
- `SN-L00-NPTH.drl` - Non-plated through holes
**Settings:**
- Format: Gerber X2 (or RS-274X)
- Drill format: Excellon
- Units: mm
- Coordinate format: 4.6
### 2. BOM (Bill of Materials)
See `BOM_PCBWay.csv` - formatted for PCBWay assembly.
### 3. CPL (Component Placement List)
See `CPL_PCBWay.csv` - component positions for pick and place.
Export from KiCad: `File → Fabrication Outputs → Component Placement`
## PCBWay Order Settings
