kicad StepUp: a new approach to export kicad board and modules in STEP AP214 (with colors).
With kicad StepUp, it is possible to work in kicad EDA with the same component model data
available in the STEP AP214 3D format, and obtain a 3D STEP AP214 model of the pcb board and
a complete board assembles with electronic modules, to be used for MCAD interchange.
The accurate 3D visualization of components on board assembles in kicad 3dviewer, is
maintained in the same accuracy and aspect in STEP AP214 format.
The kicad StepUp script maintains the usual way to work with kicad, but improves the process
to work in a collaborative way with mechanical designers bringing near ECAD and MCAD environments.

Features

  • kicad 3D STEP AP214 export pcb and models
  • export and convert to STEP 3D models with Board, ready for 3D MCAD exchange
  • ECAD meets MCAD
  • ECAD MCAD collaboration

User Reviews

  • Just ran it on my project and generated a MUCH smaller step than the Kicad -> Meshlab -> FreeCAD route. I might actually dig up an old Kicad workbench I threw together a while ago to integrate this.
