3D Models
General Colibri 3D Mechanical Models
The basic Colibri 3D model contains the PCB and the maximum component height on top and bottom of the module.
This is a SolidWorks CAD model. You can download the free eDrawings model viewer from SolidWorks here.
This is a generic 3D pdf model that can be opened in Adobe Reader.
Colibri iMX6 3D Mechanical Models
The Colibri iMX6 3D model contains the PCB and all components. Depending on the module variant, some components may be not assembled. The component heights are typical values. Due to production tolerances, the actual height of the assembled components can be different. Please use the generic Colibri mechanical model with the maximum component height for testing the mechanical fit. This ensures the mechanical design fits all current Colibri modules as well as future releases.
