When it comes to designing circuit boards, you know that being able to properly visualize your spacing, sizing, and layout is crucial to a successful finished product with minimal setbacks. While standard PCB design software has its place, 3D PCB software allows you to get a detailed look at your routing, components, and overall layout BEFORE you send your design out for a physical prototype. As 3D environments become more advanced, they become essential tools to advance your PCB designs to the next step. Whether prototyping or sending to manufacture a 3D design environment makes it easier for you to see what needs additional attention.
