Overview

Planar is a feature rich 2.5D vector polygon based geometry editor that is designed for use with CAD data typically generated for CAM machinery used in the electronic circuit fabrication (which can be PCB or MMIC based).It can be used for viewing, editing and transforming data as well as converting between different file formats.

Planar solves a common problem with all the current formats used for transferring data between CAD and CAM systems, that is, none of them provide a complete description of the product to be manufactured.Planar solves this by allowing the layered CAD data to be extruded into the third dimension, including the materials information in the layer stack and providing the complete product description in one file.

Although Planar supports many file types common in the industry, only Planar files can provide a full product description.
