Is the 'scan' a 'picture' of the pcb? If so it's only good for reference. To make a pcb you'll have to recreate the whole thing again from scratch. Other than Gerber, some outfits may accept certain cad files directly or you could of course do it the way it certainly was back then and do a tape up. A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case.pcb. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically.
Do you want to make a PCB board without files and just have the complete product ? Take it to us, we make it for you.
How did we do that ? I show you simple now.
This following thing we did, called PCB copy, also called PCB clone and PCB reverse engineering.
The first thing after we got it, is take two photos of two sides and record all the types of components, also the position, especially the position of diode and tiode.
The second thing is take down all the components and tins in PAD holes. Clean the PCB board and put it in scanner until get a clear image. Use the waterproof abrasive paper polish the top layer and put it in scanner again. Using PHOTOSHOP and scan it with colorful.
To make the circuit more clear, we adjusted contrast and intensity through PHOTOSHOP. Finally it’s clear enough now.
Change the .BMP file to .PROTEL file and leading-in this two files. If the position of PAD and VIA is coincident, it means we did it very well. If there is any deviation, repeat the last step. Untill it’s coincident. It means we succeed now.
Change the .BMP file to POT PCB, and draw circuit, according the second step, draw the position of components.
Last step is testing, finish it and you succeed on it.
