3D Models
The KiCad 3D model libraries are the individual .3dshapes directories.
These 3d models are best used in combination with the official footprint libs.
Each directory directory contains multiple 3D model files, with the following supported file formats.
WRL
WRL files provide support for material properties, allowing superior 3D rendering within KiCad
STEP
STEP files are required for integration with MCAD software.
Updating via Git
Users who wish to keep 3D model libraries up to date can track the https://gitlab.com/kicad/libraries/kicad-packages3D GitLab repository.
Contributing
Users who wish to contribute to the 3D model libraries can submit a merge request at https://gitlab.com/kicad/libraries/kicad-packages3D.
Source files for 3D models can be found at https://gitlab.com/kicad/libraries/kicad-packages3D-source.
