Go to the PC board fab site, and then see what their requirements
are, which files they want, and so on.
Take the files you have, hopefully produced by a CAM program, and
zip them.? submit those files as if you were going to make a
board.? If you can see everything you're supposed to see, then
you've got the files.? There's also gerber viewer programs
available.
If you don't have the files produced by the CAM program, then
take the original kicad files, and run them through Kicad's CAM
program.? Most pcboard houses that accept gerbers generally have a
script you can use to make boards to their satisfaction.?
SeeedStudio, for instance, accepts gerbers, and has downloadable
programs for EAGLE (which I use) and Kicad, which I have yet to
use.

The zip file contains files with "kicad" in their names.
Presumably they were made with the Kicad PCB design package.
I'm not familiar enough with Kicad to say if the files
are good and sufficient. If you don't get an answer here,
you can try at?
[email protected], along
with some recommendations for PCB makers that can accept
Kicad files.

I had 100 boards made for me in the UK and part of the deal is
was I
got the "files" to keep. I am running low on stock and the
company
that did them is no longer trading. Could someone kindly tell
me if
the files in the link below are sufficient to have another
batch made,
and which do I need and who could I use?
They are through hole boards and I just want bare boards.
Thanks.
