Extensive libraries and simple costingĬreating CAD Models from scratch is a laborious and error prone task. DesignSpark Mechanical allows the import of PCB layout files from electronic design software, and drawing files from 2D electrical software allowing greater collaboration and fewer surprises later in the design process when errors and oversights can be very costly to correct. This can be complex where different engineers are using different tools.

In today’s product design processes, close collaboration is needed between electrical and mechanical design. DesignSpark Mechanical features a Microsoft Office style user interface that immediately feels familiar, and its intuitive interaction with 3D CAD models takes just minutes to learn – making DesignSpark Mechanical the ideal engineering tool to move from 2D to 3D product design. These include producing more compelling proposals, increasing collaboration, faster design times and simpler product costing. Moving from 2D drafting to 3D design can bring huge benefits in productivity. Key features Shortest learning curve of any 3D design software available to engineers And there is no time limit on the licence and no restrictions on terms of use.ĭesignSpark Mechanical allows the export of designs in the industry-standard STL format to enable quick and easy production on a 3D printer thereby enabling even faster rapid prototyping of concepts and product designs. Built-in functionality enables access to over 100 million 3D CAD models and also allows the import of PCB layout files in IDF format from any PCB design tool including DesignSpark PCB among others, enabling an even faster design cycle. The tool’s simplicity of use means that engineers and others involved in product development can become fully conversant with the software within minutes, rather than the weeks or months required to become skilled with traditional 3D CAD tools.

Developed in conjunction with SpaceClaim, the leading provider of flexible and powerful 3D modelling software for engineers, DesignSpark Mechanical overcomes two major barriers to entry faced by potential users that are new to 3D design: prohibitive cost and the considerable investment in learning time associated with traditional 3D CAD tools.īased on ‘direct modelling’ technology, users can create geometry easily with powerful and intuitive gesture-based modelling techniques. Available completely free of charge, DesignSpark Mechanical is a powerful 3D CAD modelling software tool that is very easy to learn, and provides a highly intuitive user experience to help engineers create design concepts in 3D faster than ever before.
