How to quickly print a custom 3D shell after designing a PCB with EasyEDA

In the process of electronic product development, the design of the PCB and the manufacture of the shell are equally important. An efficient electronic device not only requires stable circuit performance, but also a delicate and functional shell to protect and display your product. This article will introduce you to how to combine EasyEDA, JLCPCB and JLC3DP to easily complete the one-stop development process from PCB design to 3D shell printing.

EasyEDA: An efficient tool for designing PCBs

EasyEDA is a cloud-based electronic design tool that is widely used in PCB design and simulation. It is famous for its convenient online operation, rich component library and powerful simulation functions, allowing electronic engineers and makers to quickly complete the design work from schematics to PCB layout. In addition, EasyEDA provides a seamless ordering function with JLCPCB, and professionally made PCB boards can be quickly obtained in just a few steps.

After the PCB design is completed, many users will encounter a problem: how to design a suitable shell for a custom PCB? At this time, you can use JLC3DP to quickly complete the design and manufacture of the shell.

JLC3DP: The best choice for quickly customizing electronic device shells

JLC3DP and EasyEDA belong to the JLC Group, providing professional online 3D printing services with prices as low as $1.00, supporting SLA, MJF, SLM, FDM, SLS, WJP. Currently, JLCPCB and JLC3DP already support combined orders.

Advantages of using JLC3DP to print shells

Provide a variety of material options: Depending on product requirements, you can choose high-strength ABS, excellent toughness TPU, or smooth-looking SLA resin materials to meet different application scenarios.

High-precision printing: Ensure that the details of the shell are perfectly presented and precisely adapted to your PCB.

Fast production: Even for complex custom designs, JLC3DP can print and deliver them within a few days, giving you more time for product development.

How to combine EasyEDA with JLC3DP?

In EasyEDA Pro, users can quickly sketch and construct simple enclosures for their projects, and EasyEDA Pro also allows you to export designs in STEP or OBJ format. This export option helps to seamlessly integrate with other professional 3D design tools for further improvement.
