Sounds like this is just the external dimensions? That's mostly just useful for creating accessories. That's not too special, Apple does this too. https://developer.apple.com/accessories/dimensional-drawings...

Those PDFs are useless.

If you want a purple Steam Controller, you can load Valve's STL into your favorite slicer, 3D print a new shell, transplant the electronics, and you're done.

If you want a purple MacBook, could you do the same with those Apple PDFs?

  • No, you can't, because it doesn't include any internal topology.
