Blender -> KiCad

Layout 3D Models

Hi!

Is it possible to create 3D-Models in Blender for KiCad?

I have a lot of experience with Blender, so it would be easier for me to learn than FreeCad.

yes but Kicad only supports STEP and WRL for parts. Blender doesn’t really support STEP export but does support WRL.
Ideally STEP as the 3D parts are not just to make a 3D render of your card but means something for a wider mechanical constraint and thus a fileformat that is dimentionally accurate is key.

if you are confident you can constrain a model in Blender then go for it :slight_smile:
