Part-DB
Support to preview STL/3MF/3d Files
Enable support for uploading, previewing, and interacting with common 3D file formats (STL and 3MF) directly within the application to streamline asset management and enhance design workflows
- Accelerate asset review without launching external CAD or slicer software
- Improve accuracy of file selection
- Enhance visual organization across complex library structures
I wonder if this was already possible in the legacy version of Part-DB (see https://docs.part-db.de/upgrade_legacy.html#missing-features)?
Just a week ago I added a file type for 3D file formats in our Part-DB instance. And stumpled across the problem that the MIME type model/* as a file type filter but that didn't work despite symphony seems to support it. So I added the file types .3mf, .stp, .step, .stl, .wrl, .wrz, .x3d, .idf, .emn, .stpz manually.
I would love to have a preview of the 3D models. So I could use them instead of an image. Currently I sometimes export 3D-Models from KiCad as images or take a screenshot of the 3D-Model in a viewer (not very professional). I want to store 3D-Files of self-designed cases and enclosures for our prototypes and testing gear. Also having the 3D-models for KiCad in Part-DB would be great. What is your use case?
The legacy Part-DB version supported 3d models for footprints (with the KiCad models). But it only worked with models in the pretty obscure x3d format...
