In addition, DesignSpark Mechanical allows the export of designs in the industry-standard STL format to enable quick and easy production on a 3D printer – a technology that is becoming increasingly accessible to all – thereby enabling even faster rapid prototyping of concepts and product designs. And there is no time limit on the licence and no restrictions on terms of use. Built-in functionality enables aceess to 100M+ 3D 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 new and powerful 3D 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.
