I use Eagle 4.15 Professional for pcb development and love it. I have seen though some 3d demos of what the board would look like and was wondering if anyone knew what programs can do that?

    A colleague of mine uses Altium Designer and creates the 3D images of his boards. Youtube Video of Altium 3D. It's amazing how much mechanical design time can be saved when seeing your PCB in 3D before gerber is sent to a fab shop............

    Altium Designer looks cool but $200/month is way to expensive.

    I will have to check out Eagle 3d. Requires me learning PovRay to make my parts since i don't use any standard components.

    It's not too bad actually.· The versions and tools for Linux are better than for Win (IMO)

    Pulsonix and Easy-PC do, as well.

    Electronics Workbench has a 3d pcb option, and I think they have a student version of their software.

    Check it out.
