If I order a panelized board and the stencil, I need the manufacturer provide to me the panelized Gerber files, so I can order the same PCB again to use it with the same stencil and assemble it in my Neoden4 Pick and Place.
It can be that ALLPCB does it, I'm going to ask them. The problem is that my current PCB manufacturer (JLCPCB) does not do panelize for PCBs in irregular or round shapes. I have some round PCB, that need panelize. What I see more complex is for PCB of irregular or round shapes with the use of mouse-bites. The simple system of copying and pasting the same PCB in Eagle to create a panel of PCB, I know it, is very easy, then add V-cut lines. What experiences do you have, and what programs would you recommend to be able to panelize PCB's? I understand that this is done from the Gerber that I have created with programs like Eagle, Altium, Kicad, etc. I've seen some videos on YouTube, but I still do not know which of the two is used to panelize, using the Gerber I've already created from Eagle. I have, for some time now, the CAM350 and Blueprint tools from the DownStream manufacturer, but I still did not have time to test them. Neither of them offers a professional solution for paneling PCBs, I mean an assisted system for creating PCB panels with "V-cut" or "Mouse bites" separators, mainly for PCBs with irregular or round shapes. I work with Eagle, although I can also use Altium.

Some manufacturers offer this service, but I prefer to do it by myself, to have total control and decide how to do it. I am looking for tools to be able to panelize my PCB designs before sending the Gerber to the manufacturer to make the panelized PCB boards.
