Bridging the Gap between Electronic and Mechanical Design
Demo Presentation (pps file)

Board ModelerBoard Modeler is a stand-alone solution to professional bridge the gap between electronic and mechanical design. Board Modeler reduces iterations between departments, decreases duplication of effort, and provides greater form and fit accuracy.

* Eliminates Duplication of Effort
o Import parts and obstacles from mechanical CAD and export PCB shape, pre-placed components, and mechanical constraints directly to the PCB layout.
* Improves accuracy during 3D clearance checks and final assembly
o Replace inaccurate IDF simplified extrusions with accurate 3D solid models. Web-based library contains thousands of 3D models ensuring up-to-date components.
* Speeds design cycle times by reducing iterations between departments
o Electronics designer can place components and verify clearances in a true 3D environment. Placement is easily back annotated to the PCB layout.
* Provides collaborative floorplanning among all engineering disciplines.
o Concurrent collaborative floorplanning is accomplished by importing information from the schematic, PCB layout, and mechanical environments. Tradeoffs may be examined and problems averted during the product planning stage.
* Simple to use.
o You don't have to be a CAD tool expert to use Board Modeler - the simple and intuitive solution to your complex electro-mechanical problems.
