Tens of Millions of Footprints & 3D Models for FREE

May 11, 2017

Anthem, AZ – PCB Libraries, an industry leader in CAD library development, automation, and management, just released a major improvement to its free Library Expert – build as many 3D STEP models as you want. What before only generated free, unlimited footprints, now also creates 3D models – for tens of millions of parts!

The Library Expert Lite supports 180 different Standard component families. If you’re still using massive, old libraries with obsolete parts, switch to something far more nimble and robust, it costs absolutely nothing: www.PCBLibraries.com/LibraryExpert/Lite
