Instantly send your 3D designs to PCBWay with just one click!

Our 3D and CNC services at PCBWay have always been well-received by our customers. We're excited to announce that we've established a deep collaboration with FreeCAD. FreeCAD is an open-source parametric 3D modeling software designed primarily for creating real-life objects of any size. It’s widely used by engineers around the world.

Now, once you finish designing in FreeCAD, you can place an order on PCBWay with just one click. FreeCAD will transfer the step files to us, and after uploading them, you can simply click “Add to Cart” to place your order (this usually takes just a few seconds). Our team of engineers will then review the files before starting the production process.

Installing via the Official FreeCAD Tools

To get started, simply click on “Tools” > “Addon Manager” within FreeCAD, and select “PCBWay” from the available options. Once selected, click to install it directly.

Manual Installation

If you prefer, you can also manually install the plugin by downloading the latest version from our GitHub repository at https://github.com/pcbway/PCBWay-Plug-in-for-FreeCAD. After downloading, locate the Python file and place it in the appropriate directory within FreeCAD. Then, click “Execute” to finalize the installation.

As a supporter of FreeCAD, we remain committed to contributing to its ongoing development. Thank you to the entire open-source community for their invaluable contributions and efforts.

Note: Special thanks go out to the open-source community. For any feedback or questions, feel free to reach out to us directly.
