The AB Electronics UK Knowledge Base provides support solutions, tutorials and troubleshooting guides.
Welcome to the AB Electronics UK 3D Models Resource Page. This page contains detailed 3D models for many of our development boards. Each model is available in STEP format, a widely recognised and versatile 3D file format used in computer-aided design (CAD) and manufacturing.
If you need 3D models for any of our boards that are not already listed or if you have any questions or require further assistance, please feel free to contact us with your request.

What is STEP Format?
STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product Data) is a neutral file format that allows the digital exchange of 3D data between different CAD systems. It is officially known as ISO 10303 and is designed to represent complex geometric and product information. The STEP format is preferred in various industries due to its ability to facilitate interoperability between different CAD software, ensuring that your designs are accurate and easily shareable across different platforms.
How to Use STEP Files
- Using STEP files is straightforward and beneficial for engineers, designers, and manufacturers. Here’s a quick guide to help you get started:
- Download the 3D Model: Navigate to the product you are interested in and download the corresponding STEP file from our resource page.
- Import into CAD Software: Most CAD software supports the STEP format. Open your CAD program and use the ‘Import’ function to load the STEP file. This will allow you to view and manipulate the 3D model within your design environment.
- Inspect and Modify: Once imported, you can inspect the model for dimensions, fit, and form. If necessary, you can modify the design to fit your specific requirements, ensuring seamless integration with your project.
- Integrate into Assemblies: Use the STEP model as part of larger assemblies in your CAD projects. The accurate representation of our products will aid in the precise planning and execution of your designs.
