- Description
- A GCODE file contains commands in G-Code, which is a language used to describe how a 3D printer should print a job. It stores instructions in plain text with each line representing a different command, such as how fast the printer should print, the temperature it should be set at, and where the printing parts should move.
- The pec file type is a proprietary embroidery format used by Brother, Babylock, and Bernina home embroidery machines. It is used to store machine-readable designs for the machines to stitch out. The files can be edited with a variety of embroidery software programs.
