Cadence OrCAD and Allegro PCB design workflows with 3D board review
OrCAD Allegro is an engineering tool first, so RENDERCAD is most useful after you have a clear 3D Canvas view of the board assembly. Capture the PCB with mapped component models, connector placement, flex geometry, or enclosure context, then turn that technical view into a polished product visual for design reviews, documentation, hardware launch images, or stakeholder updates. Keep OrCAD Allegro as the source of truth for layout, DRC, and signal or power integrity; use RENDERCAD to make the board-level story easier to understand outside the ECAD team.
Open the board in the OrCAD or Allegro 3D Canvas, assign STEP models where available, and frame the view around the board areas that matter - connectors, dense components, shielding, flex bends, keepouts, or enclosure clearance. Export an image or capture the viewport, then use RENDERCAD to refine lighting, surface finish, background, and composition for a shareable render. This workflow is for visual communication and product presentation, not for replacing fabrication outputs or electrical validation.

It creates emotional storytelling (e.g., a "well-loved" tool vs. a "new" one) by simply selecting from Clean, Slight Wear, Heavily Used, or Dirty in Advanced Settings.
Upload a photo of the actual painted sample or Pantone chip. The AI color-matches your render to the physical reference.
Image references and masks are applied during the initial image render. Once you have your styled image, use the Image-to-Video feature to animate it with camera movements.
Set up masks for each customizable component. Swap material references for each masked region to quickly visualize different product configurations.
Prompt for "Cut ruby," "Emerald," or "Sapphire" with "Light refraction" to capture the internal sparkle.
Upload your image or snip your screen, then type "Cyberpunk city, neon lights" in the prompt. The "Creative" style will restyle the atmosphere while keeping your model's core shape.
Yes. Select the "Slow zoom in" or "Slow zoom out" camera option in RENDERCAD Image-to-Video to create dynamic motion from a still image.
Local rendering maxes out RAM. RENDERCAD is cloud-based; it processes a simple 2D image on our servers, so your computer never lags or crashes.
Crop using the Snipping Tool selection box initially. Select only the area of the viewport you want to render.
Prompt "Grey linen sofa," "Teak wood legs," "Living room context."
Use "Exact" style. AI can struggle with text, but Exact mode preserves it best.
Marketing needs context. RENDERCAD can place your isolated CAD model into a realistic "Lifestyle" environment (like a kitchen or office) instantly.
