Gerber files to G-code

Hi there, I have some Gerber files to use in my MPCNC, how can convert it to G-code? Anybody with experience?
Thanks

No experience, but since PCB are something I’d like to explore someday, I poked around a bit. I found this old conversation:

How to convert Gerbers to g-code for PCB milling using Flatcam.

Hi all, Please see this as an “FYI thread” just passing on some good tips I found on the internet … As it is I have been in need to convert Gerbers generated in a PCB layout program for g-code that I could import e.g. into Estlcam. Yesterday I found out that Flatcam can be used for that and also found good advice on how to do the conversion in practice in these videos (the most straightforward IMO are the two top ones): Cheers, Jesper

Note that Carbide 3D’s solution in the last post is likely to only work if you are running GRBL on your MPCNC. I also found a few ways to convert Gerber files to a vector format that could be brought into a CAD program, though most cost money. GerberView is free for the first 30 days, so it might be a solution.

I will with Flatcam. Thanks for the info
