"Using Board Modeler Lite in conjunction with CADSTAR PCB design and our 3D mechanical software, we can avoid costly mistakes and ensure the electronics fit the space constraints available. Our latest project included more than 20 PCBs, all of which fitted first time. The ability to fully characterise the 3D board with accurate models, plus the ability to check for and resolve clearance errors, helps us produce better documentation for test and assembly, and most importantly ensures we get easily manufacturable products in a shorter time. We also find that Board Modeler Lite is very useful as a design tool. It allows us to try multiple design ideas and develop virtual prototypes so that we can see what will and won’t work before they go to manufacture which obviously reduces our costs."
