[3D Hubs] have shared a handy guide on designing practical and 3D printing-friendly enclosures. The guide walks through the design of a two shell, two button remote control enclosure. It allows for… ...

But not all PCB design benefits from 3D. Component placement and mounting rigid-flex circuits in an enclosure benefit from 3D visualisation and design constraints, but track and via routing is still ...

If your prototype PCB already exists, it is possible to use its design data to produce a 3D model of it suitable to design the enclosure around. Distributor Element14 advocates the use of Eagle as a ...

Clura is an open-source design for a universal desktop 3D printer enclosure. Enclosures are desirable because they capture ...

Desktop EDA's advanced IDF modeler app for Altium Designer allows users of the native 3D PCB design system to export and import a rich, complete model of the 3D PCB in the industry standard IDF file ...

3D component models can be imported from RS’s extensive library, and PCB designs can be imported from DesignSpark PCB as well as Orcad, Altium, Pads, Eagle, and others.

This article takes a look at how to get a 3D preview of a printed-circuit-board (PCB) project designed using mid-level PCB design tools, such as EAGLE and DipTrace.

Update November 13, 2024: I reached out to Jerrod Hofferth about his 'Mac mini Pro' enclosure design for the M4 Mac Mini, and asked what his thoughts were on Apple's awkward power button placement.

Moreover, if the prototype reveals any flaws, it takes additional days or weeks to redesign, then get the fixes tested before the design can go into production, presenting a business risk to on-time ...
