Title: Tip: thousands of free 3D models
Post by: AlxDroidDev on February 12, 2016, 11:32:17 am

In a small PCB I am designing, I wanted a few 3D models that aren't part of DipTrace's default installation. After some search I found this site:

http://www.tracepartsonline.net/ (http://www.tracepartsonline.net/)

They have tens of thousands of 3D models, free to download in several formats, including VRML (which is used by DipTrace). All the models are indexed by manufacturer, type and a few other specifications.

Registration using e-mail is required, but they accepted a "mailinator" disposable mail account.

Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with the site above, and I just found it so helpful that I thought I'd share it with you.

Diptrace can import and use STEP models also.
