I’m using Blender 🔶 and #geometrynodes to visualize clearance boundaries and highlight violations in high voltage PCB designs. The design in this video is a 65W USB-C PD charger using STMicroelectronics #ViperGaN. I’ve shown most of the net classes I created, with Blender I can also include not only...

@Blender My first PCB software was Altium, you're bringing me many memories from time ago and mixing Blender + Altium is like, get out of my head hahah Great job.

@Blender Altium's 3D is basically eye-candy. You can't do anything useful with it. I'm glad you are integrating. It's cool, but not useful if you have to rebuild the entire board in Blender. If you integrate more tightly (export?), you have a very good chance of being acquired by Altium.

Yes I'm trying to take advantage of Blender's 3D capability for electronics and PCB design. Right now it is still very a manual process to export designs from Altium into Blender. I've built a good library of Blender models for electronic components, so I no longer have to remodel everything, I just use the pick and place file to place all my components in Blender

You can now use Blender Fasthenry to do PCB layout studies, calculate impedances of loops and return paths and determine how many vias you need! This demo shows how the impedance of DC decoupling capacitor is impacted by its distance from the IC, and the number of vias under the IC and near the capacitor. This is for a two-layer 1.6mm PCB at 1MHz. Blender FastHenry is now a solid tool for layout simulations and impedance calculations, available on Github. #b3d #geometrynodes #engineering #science #electronics #Simulation #kicad #altium #hardware #technology #3dmodeling #pcbdesign hackaday Maurizio Di Paolo Emilio

It has finally happened - my first video guide on how to create electromagnetic openEMS simulations with Blender 🔶 is now available! This video guide will show you to first create geometries and specify ports in #blender3d , export them to openEMS, write a few python scripts, and then using geometry nodes to visualise and animate the results back in Blender. The video is based on the Rotman lens animation I did previously as the workflow for it covers a wide range of topics. I hope you find this video informative. Everything is done using open-source tools including #inkscape, #paraview and Octave! #b3d #electronics #hardware #science #educational #physics #engineering #geometrynodes hackaday #openEMS #electromagnetics #tutorial #mathematics #antenna #rf #kicad #altium

very excited to share what I've been working on, I've created an addon which allows you to run FastHenry directly in Blender! you can use the power of Blender to create any curve object and then call FastHenry to simulate the resistance and inductance. This demo video shows how you can calculate the resistance and inductance of a bond wire in a power module. You can experiement with different shapes and curvatures and see how the inductance changes. Furthermore you can control the radius with geomotry nodes! Also, you can combine this with ElectroMag Nodes to then visualise the magnetic fields! This addon will be a free update to ElectroMag Nodes #b3d #blender3d #geometrynodes #inductance #electronics #hardware #science #engineering #pcbdesign #educational #magnet #kicad #freecad #altium Maurizio Di Paolo Emilio hackaday

New update on combining FastHenry and Blender 🔶 , I've added the ability to calculate the mutual inductance between objects! Also developed a basic UI inside Blender to visualise the results and to highlight the inductively coupled objects. This video shows some examples of what can be donw now. First demo shows how you can model the impedance of die bond wires and the coupling to adjacent wires, you make adjustments to their lengths and curvatures and see the results in near-real-time. Second demo shows calculating inductances and mutual inductance of air-core inductors with arbitrary positions and deformations. Third demo shows simulating PCB coils over a range of frequencies for applications such as wireless power and distance sensing. And you can combine this with Electromag Nodes to visualise the magnetic fields! #b3d #blender3d #geometrynodes #electronics #hardware #science #technology #pcbdesign #kicad #altium #ansys #3dart #programmer #python #engineering #semiconductors #circuits #inductors #components

Wire bonding and lead impedance calculation in Blender FastHenry! I've improved how the simulation results are visualised, the entire objects now gets overlaid with a colour rather than using bound boxes. Red is for showing the self-inductance of a selected objected, yellow for mutually coupled objects and blue for conductive plane objects. Very impressed how easy it is nowadays to code anything with Python and Blender #b3d #electronics #engineering #science #pcbdesign #hadware #geometrynodes #3dmodeling #educational #simulation #fasthenry #altium #pythonlearning #electromagnetics #kicad

simulating layouts with Blender FastHenry! you can now export spice netlist of your Blender scene and run a layout spice simulation. Here I am using kiCAD Ngspice to see study the switch node voltage ringing of NMOS half-bridge with TO-220 packages. You can see how moving DC link capacitors closer, and shortening leads reduces the amount of ringing and overshoot. Blender 🔶 KiCad PCB Daniel Bogdanoff Dave Jones

Ending 2024 with a teardown animation of the ZSWatch, an open-source smart watch project. It's been a busy year where I have learnt alot and improved my skills in animation, modelling, showcasing designs and writing my own scripts. Open source projects and tools provide a fantastics oppurtinity to learn about designing electronics and hardware and to understand some of the key decisions that go behind creating such designs. They also provide a great platform to showcase new developments and technologies, there's never been a better time to get involved! #b3d #blender3d #electronics #enginnering #hardware #science #kicad KiCad PCB hackaday #smartwatch #opensource

This is how a designer at Slack organizes their design iterations in Figma Every designer should copy this approach and keep a daily log of their design iterations. Doesn't have to be super structured but just date and name for each design iteration Biggest benefit I see for using this approach is building trust with your design manager and stakeholders as they can go into your Figma file and visualize your progress/efforts Also scares away micro managers😉 👀 Watch the full interview on Sneak Peek: andrew gosine 🌲 shows how he organizes design iterations for Slack in Figma 👇

PCB AI Developers: This is the bar. If you cannot give this or better, you will likely not sell the most experience and the best designers. Furthermore, this company has deep pockets, and is developing its own AI tools within this eco system. Pay attention. Please enjoy.
