Noctua has announced the availability of free 3D CAD models for many of its popular cooling products, with the news shared via an official post on X. The move is aimed at engineers, system designers, and content creators who require accurate representations of components for integration into their projects.
The newly available CAD files allow users to incorporate Noctua’s fan designs into mechanical layouts, visualisations, and animations. By offering these resources publicly, Noctua is providing a practical toolset for professionals and enthusiasts working on custom PC builds, product development, or digital content creation.
Features
• Accurate External Dimensions – Models reflect precise mounting and overall dimensions for reliable integration into CAD projects
• Wide Compatibility – Suitable for mechanical design, rendering, and animation workflows
• IP Protection Measures – Certain internal elements, such as fan blade geometry, are slightly modified to protect proprietary designs
• Free Access – Available to download directly from Noctua’s official website without cost
• Reference-Only Usage – Intended for visualisation and integration, not for performance simulation or manufacturing
Noctua notes that while the models closely resemble actual products, they are not fully representative of internal structures and should not be used for simulation or 3D printing purposes. The company also includes a standard disclaimer, stating that the files are provided “as is” without warranties and that any usage is at the user’s own risk.
The 3D CAD models are available now via Noctua’s website, though no additional details regarding expanded model coverage or future updates have been disclosed.
