Files with the .CAM extension contain instructions for the machine to create Printed Circuit Boards (PCB). These are task files generated from Gerber format files, used in the Computer-Aided Manufacturing process.
JPEG file extension is commonly associated with image files, and is one the most popular graphic formats currently in use. It uses lossy compression algoritm designed by Joint Photographic Experts Group. JPEG files are usually used to hold digital image data and computer graphics.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the CAM file after converting to JPEG may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from CAM to JPEG to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting CAM to JPEG does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in CAM format, properly converted to a JPEG file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file CAM the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of CAM file to other than JPEG. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your CAM file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to JPEG on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the CAM file in its original format (without conversion to JPEG file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
