Create manufacturing-ready footprints & 3D models with Autodesk Library.io


https://www.electronics-lab.com/create-manufacturing-ready-footprints-3d-models-with-autodesk-library-io/

If you ever made a PCB, you quickly realized that the component library of the PCB design software is usually pretty limited for such sophisticated programs. Usually, one has to resort to external tools to access the schematic symbols, footprints and 3D models, or design our own in the designer, which takes some precious time […]

EAGLE Autorouter, When & How To Use


https://www.electronics-lab.com/eagle-autorouter-use/

Designing a PCB layout is a work of engineering art, includes placing components and routing them through different layers. So when you assign the same job for different engineers, each one would make it in his own way. But sometimes when working on a complex design some help may be necessary to finish the work. […]
