How to export a PCB to a 3D model in AD

AD9 AD16 in the PCB shortcut key "FE" exported model has STEP and STP two 3D model formats, the exported model can be directly opened in PROE and other structural software, if it is not clear, you can join the group 16045239, indicate.

<> I specialize in this work, from PCB to structure. The following is an example diagram.

To export the PCB 3D model in AD, export the STEP and STP formats with AD, and then open it with SW.

A 3D model is a three-dimensional, three-dimensional model, and D is the abbreviation of English dimensions. A 3D model can also be said to be a three-dimensional model built with 3D software, including various buildings, people, vegetation, machinery, etc., such as a 3D model of a building. 3D models also include the field of toys and computer models.

The 3D model for AD is made in Altium.

Simple ones can be drawn by yourself in Altium, complex ones, especially those with curved surfaces, Altium can't do it, you need to use professional 3D software such as UG, PROE, SOLIDWORK, etc. to draw, and save it as a step file after drawing, and Altium can import it.

To generate a 3D model file, all your components are loaded with 3D footprints, and the first step is to go into the 3D view, and then save it as a STEP or STP file, so that you can open it in Proe.

1) Use Altium's built-in footprints, which is the most convenient way to do this, but Altium's footprint library is not complete, and in most cases you won't be able to get 3D footprints of your specific components.

2) Use Proe to draw a footprint of a particular component and import that 3D model into Altium.

Build Process:

Manual software to build 3D model: This method requires operators to have rich professional knowledge, proficient in the use of modeling software, and the operation is complex, the cycle is long, and the 3D model of the final component is not very realistic.

Scanner to build 3D models: This method requires expensive hardware such as 3D scanners. In addition, 3D scanners can only obtain the position information of objects, and most of the texture features on the surface of objects still require a lot of manual work to complete.

The whole process is costly and takes a long time.

The 3D model for AD is made of curved surfaces.

There are many tricks to painting in Altium if you want to use professional 3D software such as UG, PROE, SolidWork, etc., and save it as a Step file after drawing, and then you can import it into Altium to draw 3D.

And Sina has a lot of information to check, to put it simply, put 3D body in the mechanical layer, and then set the coloring of the body, height, radius, etc., one or two sentences are not clear, I really don't understand can send an email to me.

Classification:

3D models are also divided into: people, transportation, architectural decoration, furniture and electrical appliances, machinery, animals, monsters, plants, clothing, accessories, daily necessities, musical instruments, artworks and so on.

For example, European furniture 3D model sofa seats, beds, dining chairs, living room lamps, wardrobes, electrical appliances, etc. European-style 3D models are commonly used in interior design expression styles, and generally commonly used 3D models European-style sofas, see Figure 1 - European-style sofa 3D models.

Sofa 3d model behavior mode: between sitting and lying down. Sitting Points:

Reclining and semi-reclining posture general single product 3D model size: seat height 450, variable range: between 350 500; Seat Depth:

600, variable range: between 550 and 650. Dimensions of the sum of seat height and seat depth:
