Mechanical Engineers can design smaller, sleeker products with fewer errors when working with detailed 3D PCB information. Our 3D PCB Component Libraries, online tools, and 3D PCB Component and Board Build Services makes it easy and fast to generate 100% geometrically accurate 3D circuit boards!
-Library components are available in Pro/Engineer, STEP, IGES, and IDF EMN Formats. Click here for a current list of available 3D library components.
-Altium Designer users can download and import our STEP Library Components into their designs to create 3D PCBs. These 3D boards can be exported from Altium Designer via STEP. Mechanical Engineers can now view and work with accurate the 3D PCBs in MCAD. Our 3D IGES and STEP Library Parts also import into MCAD Packages such as Solidworks, Circuitworks, Catia, and Inventor.
-Pro/Engineer, Pro/ECAD users can also take advantage of our Hint MAP Tool. The tool creates and updates the ProE ecad_hint.map file. The ecad_hint.map file links electrical geometry from IDF EMN and EMP Files created in Altium, Mentor Boardstation and Expedition, Cadence Allegro, PCAD, PADS, Orcad, and other ECAD Packages to our 3D Pro/Engineer Part Models.
-Our service group can quickly build 3D PCB Component Models or deliver a complete 3D PCB like the image to the left in Pro/E, STEP or IGES Format. To quote and build a complete 3D PCBs all we require are IDF .emn and .emp files and a BOM.
Please register to schedule a live web demo to learn about our 3D Library and how IDF .emn files can be used with our Pro/ECAD Tools to develop 3D PCBs in ProE.
