Overview
3D BRD Viewer is a free tool to visualize CadSoft EAGLE PCB Designs in 3D. You can drag your .brd file anywhere on this page and have a full 360 degree view of how your board will appear after assembly.
Models
The tool currently has close to two hundred 3D models of different components. Weāve tried to include the most used packages, but we canāt account for every device out there, and probably your board wonāt render completely the first time you load it. āNot foundā models are red-ish colored (right hand side list), once you select an element click āManage Modelā and try to find your element model in the list of available models. If you canāt there are two other options:
1. Define a box ā find the datasheet for your device and get the dimensions from there.
2. Upload a file ā stp and dae formats are currently supported. Most connector manufacturers provide a step file for their products.
After you click āPlaceā the tool will add that model to the scene for all elements with the same package. Then if there are alignment issues you can move each element individually from itās dropdown menu. The changes you make are saved in your browser local storage based on the filename of the board, so that next time you load it it will have the same translations/offsets/models/boxes.
