3D layout in PCB design
Designing in only 2D space is no longer the norm; the industry has shifted to incorporating 3D visualization during PCB design to reduce back and forth iterations with the mechanical engineering team.
Now, when the interaction is required, why use drawings, DXF, or semi-intelligent IDF? Enhanced collaboration features include bidirectional data transfer with incremental changes, providing the ability to import mechanical interfacing structures the PCB will mount to or interact with. This allows you to place components with first-pass success.
How can 3D layout design benefit PCB designers?
- Ability to place parts around mechanical models
- Sets 3D DRC rules that are used real-time during the placement
- Enables seamless ECAD-MCAD collaboration
