I have created all the 3D models myself in Blender, lockdown was productive! . Most of the STEP files when imported in blender have a very dense mesh and slow things down significantly. See below the wireframe of one of the renders

(Attachment Link)

I bit fuzzy about that...

So you just "imported" all these models from STEP files
thus creating a huge blender model collection..? ... or

You imported an already STEP mesh just creating a Blender project...

Or whatever you can explain ..

there is a huge collection of very good models dropped there..

Nice to know how to manage and find.. and also store that data..

Thanx
Paul

Sorry I should've been clearer, I meant to say that I created most of the component models in Blender from scratch as this will create a more optimum geometry that will not be dense.

I am planning at some point to release all these models that I created.

Neat.

But the real use for 3D models of PCBAs is for enclosure design and mechanical-envelope verification.

Hey! I got this kit!

Schottky, very nice work indeed. Congratulations and quite the dedication.

My experience with Blender is not extensive and my impression is similar to jonovid's comments above: I feel that I need to use it extensively before I am able to break the barrier for it to become a really productive tool.

Schottky · « **Reply #32 on:** November 13, 2021, 12:21:39 pm »

Thanks! I'm planning on releasing Blender models for most commonly used components, and also create a tool that will allow easy import of Altium/Kicad projects into Blender

That one with a load of caps all together is neat, but I don't see that ending well. Why would you even do that? Maybe to blow up something? In that case maybe it has something to do with multiple regulator lines or phases?

Very nice.
Do you take orders for such renderings and if so what's the approximate cost? (You can PM if you prefer.)

Blender PCB sandwich render! iFixit did a great teardown showing the PCB sandwich tech used in iPhones. Thought I’d create this animation to show it
