   Hello everyone,

As a new member, I wanted to discuss the benefits of using 3D models in PCB design. Visualizing your PCB in 3D can help with component placement and verifying fit within enclosures.
Why Use 3D Models?
Better Visualization: You can see how components fit together in 3D, helping with space management.
Design Verification: It’s easier to check for component interference and alignment.
Improved Communication: 3D models make it simpler to explain designs to teams or clients.
Tips for 3D PCB Design
Use Your Design Software: Most tools like Altium, Eagle, and KiCAD offer 3D views of your designs.
Check Component Placement: Ensure components are correctly placed before switching to 3D view.
Export to CAD: For more detailed analysis, export your design to 3D CAD software.
3D models help reduce errors and ensure your design fits perfectly in the final product. Let me know your thoughts!
