Hi Everyone! I would like to learn does anyone know how to process ExpressPCB format PCB file? Is this file format public? We would like to support this format on pcbwing.com, but we need your help. Any suggestions are welcome!

If ExpressPCB finds that they're loosing a significant amount their profit to other vendors due to their business model, they too will change...or fold. At this point it seems they are either oblivious...or doing OK. Time will tell.Now, many customers of ExpressPCB software ask us to do something for them.
When people ask us to cheat or steal we should just say no. Right ?... I bet that we'll not poach off theirs except the customers hope us to help...

See if you can find a free package that you can suggest to your customers. Or make a deal with a company that sells a layout package and offer a deal like expressPCB does where people have to have you make the file.
I agree.
ExpressPCB paid the money to develop their layout program and it is up to them how it should be used.
The ExpressPCB people are willing to convert designs to gerber format for a fee. Each time you make a board from a ExpressPCB file without paying ExpressPCB you are stealing the money they require for conversion to gerber.
Stealing? Yes! Your customers want the use of ExpressPCB's free software, but don't want to support them by buying their boards. You want to sell boards, but you don't want to pay the cost of providing development software to your customers. So, you want to hack (steal) ExpressPCB's proprietary software.

Perhaps that's what you mean by "serious business"?After all, we‘re not that kind of Chinese PCB house who send spam. We do serious business.
