SolidWorks Modeler for Altium Designer

For information on all of our 3D Modeling solutions for Altium Designer users, click here

This product provides a bi-directional interface between Altium Designer and SolidWorks. You can create a realistic 3D model of your PCB in SolidWorks using native SolidWorks parts. In addition, you can move Parts or edit the shape of the PCB in SolidWorks and have those changes reflected in PCB editor. This enables you to check for assembly problems such as mis-alignment of mounting holes or mechanical interference and correct them. This product enables you to detect design errors very early in the design process when it is very easy to correct them.

You can also start your PCB design in SolidWorks by defining the board shape, mounting hole locations and connector locations using the PCB Tools add-in then choose the New PCB from SolidWorks command in Altium Designer to automatically create the Altium PCB.
