Gerber to STL
-
So, I have been using EasyEDA for creating my circuit boards. Within EasyEDA I can view a 3D representation of my board. What I would like to do is get that as an .stl file which EasyEDA will not export. Is there software that I can use in linux that can take my gerber files and export an .stl file that I can use when designing my 3D stuff that I am building around that board?

I think I read that there is an interface between Kicad and Freecad.
Gerberfiles does not contain 3D information. so your EasyEDA should have an "export to step or stl file" script or button, else it's not possible -
This seems possible in Kicad. you need to ensure that you part/component have a 3d file specified, as no info is in gerberfiles
I just found this page, but you should look more to find what you need
