What is part way between a printed circuit board and a rats-nest of point-to-point wiring? We’re not sure, but this is it. [Johan von Konow] has come up with an inspired solution, 3D printing… ...

fpc2scad is a C# command line utility that creates 3D models of PCB's designed with freepcb. The tool can be used both on windows and on linux, using the mono virtual machine. fpc2scad reads the ...

Mouser Electronics announce a new partnership with SamacSys to provide electronic component library solutions. Under the new partnership, Mouser will provide its customers with a range of free design ...

More importantly, SamacSys will fully support all of Mouser's new product introductions, giving engineers access to a current, high-quality library of PCB footprints, schematic symbols, and 3D ...

Mentor is partnering with SamacSys to provide PCB symbols, footprints and 3D models from within PartQuest, Mentor’s online platform for finding component information. The SamacSys CAD library content ...

In KiCad, copy the PCB file to a new one and put it in a folder called "3d" inside the project folder Open up this PCB file and remove the 3D model for every component you don't want visible. For ...

This paper describes a procedure to generate a 3D model for electromagnetic simulation of the transition region, i.e. solder connection, between a printed circuit board (PCB) trace and a coaxial cable ...

Beyond traditional PCB design 3D PCB printing will also open up many new material choices. If the design has certain mechanical requirements – extra-rigid, flexible or even transparent – 3D printing ...

In this paper, eye-diagrams of coupled microstrip channel on Printed Circuit Board (PCB) are estimated using equivalent circuit model. The equivalent circuit model has RLGC terms which are calculated ...

It’s 3d Printed, holds a Circuit, and is Board shaped so I think calling it a PCB fits in the “technically correct” category. Calling it the hard way is much more subjective though.
