Altium Designer supports exporting the PCB to the STEP file format. The STEP file can then be imported into an MCAD design environment, for further integration into the mechanical design.
Exporting a Folded Board to STEP
Extending the STEP export capabilities, Altium Designer now supports the STEP export of a folded right-flex design. The STEP Export Options dialog includes a slider which allows the designer to define the amount of fold required, from flat (fold 0%), right through to fully folded (fold 100%).
To export the board to STEP in its folded state:
- enable the Export Folded Board option,
- then set the Rate slider to the required amount of fold.
