![]() SnapEDA works closely with component suppliers to provide vetted digital models for its semiconductor and electromechanical products, which are created with its patented technology. The new SnapEDA KiCad Plugin provides access to millions of CAD models, which are completely free for engineers to download and use in their designs. “Although it has its roots in academia and gained initial traction with hobbyists, we’re now seeing increased adoption among professional users, which made it the perfect time to create this helpful new tool.” ![]() “KiCad is an inspiring tool to be able to support because of their ethos of making electronics design open and accessible,” said Natasha Baker, CEO & Founder of SnapEDA. ![]() SnapEDA’s Component Engineering team adds thousands of new components each week, which are synced with the plugin in real-time. Engineers can discover and download component data (including symbols, footprints and 3D models) into their library of choice - and access other types of component data, like pricing - without ever having to leave KiCad’s PCB design environment.Īdditionally, KiCad users will also benefit from live updates to the library. With the new SnapEDA KiCad Plugin, engineers can now access all of the magic of SnapEDA right from within KiCad. Over the last few years, it has been growing at the same rate as the industry’s leading PCB tools in terms of design activity on SnapEDA’s professional PCB design community. ![]() ![]() KiCad is a free and open-source software that has been gaining popularity in the PCB design industry. Today, SnapEDA – a company that helps engineers design electronics faster by removing barriers – is launching a new KiCad plugin, allowing designers to search and download its computer-aided design (CAD) models directly within the KiCad PCB design environment. ![]()
