Hello,
I wonder if I can use your 3D models for Altium Designer and how. Can you please help me?
Thank you

Hi there!
Yes, our 3D models are STEP files and you can import your STEP file into Altium Designer, first open the .PcbLib file that contains the footprint that is associated with the Step file, next, click the PCB Library tab at the bottom of the panel on the left side of the window, you'll be presented with a list of footprints within the .PcbLib file. Select the name of the footprint for which you wish to add the STEP model to.
Now you'll need to select the Place 3D Body option under the Place tab. This will display a pop-up with option for adding a 3D Body. You will need to select the Generic STEP Model option for the 3D Model Type.
Then you will click the Embed STEP Model button towards the bottom of the popup. This will allow you to browse for the STEP file that you wish to add. Once you have selected the STEP file, click the OK button at the bottom odf the pop-up.
You can find these steps and some screenshots in this page: https://www.accelerated-designs.com/help/STEPtoAltium_import.html
Hope this helps!
