CadSoft Releases Eagle 3D Design Converter

Published: 29 February 2012

Eagle 3D design converter exports 2D layouts from into Google SketchUp to create 3D prototype simulations. One-click export feature speeds printed circuit board design by creating a realistic image of the PCB, which can be closely examined for accuracy and modification. Combines multiple boards in the same model to check for misaligned connectors and collisions of tall components. Can be used to evaluate airflow around devices, and accessibility of test and mounting points. Converts mechanical models from STEP and IGES available on the manufacturers’ websites. Exports to other MCAD tools in STEP format, if necessary.
