Simply export your board as a `.pcb3d` file in KiCad, import it into\nBlender and start creating!\n\nIt lets you focus all your time on actually composing and lighting an interesting scene,\nskipping all the boring cleanup work that would be required without it.\n\nIts quick export/import times also make it viable to create renders of WIP boards or to update\nthem, after last minute board revisions.\n\n\u003cimg src=\"images/e201_soldered.jpg\"/\u003e\n\n## Usage\n\n1. Hit the `Export to Blender (.pcb3d)` button in pcbnew.\n2. Import the file in Blender via `File -\u003e Import -\u003e PCB (.pcb3d)`\n3. Start creating awesome renders!\n\n## Installation\n\n### Exporter (KiCad)\n\n- `Tools -\u003e Plugin and Content Manager -\u003e Plugins -\u003e pcb2blender`\n\n- (manual) Download the `pcb2blender_exporter_\u003cversion\u003e.zip` from the\n  [latest release](https://github.com/30350n/pcb2blender/releases/latest),\n  unpack the `plugins` directory from it into your\n  [KiCad Plugin directory](https://dev-docs.kicad.org/en/apis-and-binding/pcbnew/) and rename it to\n  `pcb2blender_exporter`.\n\n### Importer (Blender)\n\n- `Edit -\u003e Preferences -\u003e Get Extensions -\u003e PCB 3D Importer`\n\n- (manual) Download the `pcb2blender_importer_\u003cversion\u003e.zip` from the\n  [latest release](https://github.com/30350n/pcb2blender/releases/latest),\n  install it in Blender via\u003cbr\u003e\n  `Edit -\u003e Preferences -\u003e Add-ons -\u003e Install from Disk... (Top Right Menu)`\u003cbr\u003e and enable it.\n  (You need to install the actual zip file, don't unpack it!)\n\n## Other Projects\n\n- The [protorack-kicad](https://github.com/30350n/protorack-kicad) KiCad library, contains\n  all the custom symbols and footprints I use for eurorack module development.\n\n- The [svg2blender](https://github.com/30350n/svg2blender) workflow enables you to export\n  2D graphical designs from [Inkscape](https://inkscape.org/) to Blender. It's mainly intended\n  for use with front panel designs, but could be used for other things as well.\n\n## Credits\n\n- The name of this project is inspired by the awesome\n  [svg2shenzhen](https://github.com/badgeek/svg2shenzhen) Inkscape extension by\n  [badgeek](https://github.com/badgeek).\n\n- The PCB Shader node setup this addon comes with is inspired by the\n  [stylized-blender-setup](https://github.com/PCB-Arts/stylized-blender-setup)\n  repository by [PCB-Arts](https://www.pcb-arts.com).\n\n## License\n\n- This project is licensed under\n  [GPLv3](https://github.com/30350n/pcb2blender/blob/master/LICENSE).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2F30350n%2Fpcb2blender","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2F30350n%2Fpcb2blender","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2F30350n%2Fpcb2blender/lists"}
