KiCad

• KiCad ver 5.1.6 : https://kicad-pcb.org/download/
• KiCad Libraries : https://kicad-pcb.org/libraries/download
• KiCad Schematic Symbol Libraries : https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-symbols
• KiCad PCB Footprint libraries : https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-footprints
• KiCad 3D models : https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-packages3D
  • NOTE : For Mechanical CAD integration with FreeCAD, 3D models must be available in STEP format. KiCad can use either STEP or WRL formats. WRL export produces "better looking" results, but is not suitable for manipulation in FreeCAD. STEP export works with FreeCAD but loses information such as textures, shininess, transparency etc.
