About 3d production in AD

I saw the 3D model board that someone else had painted on the internet, and it felt pretty. If the two-dimensional graphics can be displayed with 3D effect, it is not very cool.

So I took a look at the tutorials on the web and created my first 3D package.

First of all to draw a 3D effect diagram, it is certain to use some drawing software, such as SolidWorks, UG, ProE and other mapping software, these software can draw a 3D effect diagram. What if you don't use the software? It's a hassle to draw 3D renderings yourself, so here's a way to download it online.

Go to the above website to search for the package you need, note: The downloaded file format must be a. Step file.

Let's talk about how to add a model to the PCB library in detail. The procedure is as follows:

1. Download the required 3D package files. The format is. Step

2. Open the Altium Designer software and go to the PCB library file editor to find the 2d package you need to add.

3. Click Place---3D Body.

4. Select generic Step model, then click Embed Step model.

5. Locate the stored path of the downloaded step file and double click.

6. Modify the position of the 3D model in space, the following figure in the X, Y, z together constitute the location of the model, the specific changes please refer to their actual situation.

so how to do 2D and 3D space conversion. 3D: Press the number 3 key, 3D--------by number 2 key.

How to observe the 3D effect from different angles. Hold down SHIFT + right mouse button.

7. Show the renderings of the 3D model below.

Finally, let's take a look at the 3D made circuit board.

What do you think. is not feeling very cool. Then go ahead and create your own 3D model library.
