The electronic and mechanical assemblies in today’s product designs must be designed in conjunction, and fit together perfectly. Integrating the PCB assembly into its case is now a major part of the design challenge, get it wrong and you’re faced with costly design respins and delays.
With Altium Designer, ECAD now meets MCAD in a unified design environment. Altium Designer removes the risks of mechanical integration errors and makes the task easy by providing an advanced data bridge to the mechanical CAD world. You have full support for real-time 3 dimensional constraint checking during board design, and the ability to export the completed board to your preferred mechanical package.
Using the PCB 3D Print plugin, you can create high-quality printouts of the 3D view of your board, with or without the components. Orient and zoom in on the board as required then print via the PCB editor print command, or pre-configure the 3D printout in an Output Job.
