PCB mounting strategies
The HIIE prototype pipeline generates real 3D models using CadQuery, a Python-based parametric CAD kernel.
Pipeline Steps
- Component Resolution — Match requirements to real parts
- Layout Engine — Z-stack placement with physics constraints
- Enclosure Generation — Parametric shell with features
- Validation — Physics checks (CoG, thermal, clearance)
- Export — GLB, STEP, STL with per-component colors
Supported Output Formats
| Format | Use Case | Software |
|---|---|---|
| GLB | Web viewing | Any browser |
| STEP | CAD import | Fusion 360, SolidWorks |
| STL | 3D printing | Cura, PrusaSlicer |
