The PCB manufacturer Beta LAYOUT LTD is now introducing a virtual 3D EAGLE viewer in its PCB-POOL~®. The unique tool is called "brd-to-3D" and works with a proprietary library. By uploading the EAGLE layout file ("with more formats coming soon,) the customer receives a 'free' comprehensive 3D package consisting of: 1. Photo-realistic images of your printed circuit board and SMD stencil; 2. a STEP file of the virtually assembled PCB; 3. a PDF formatted 3D view that rotates freely allowing all angles of viewing The brd-to-3D tool is a complement to Cad- Soft's EAGLE software that currently does not have a direct STEP-export.
