For example, Pull is used to extrude, fillet, sweep, shell, and scale geometry, while Move can be used to reposition, rotate, pattern or mirror 3D features or 2D sketch components. Within each of those commands, however, reside many of the functions experienced CAD users would be familiar with.
For example, using Mechanical is similar to Sketchup’s sketch and extrude technique, but focuses on four basic modeling commands: Pull, Move, Fill and Combine. To help spread the use of 3D CAD design, electronics distributor, Allied Electronics, in partnership with SpaceClaim, has released DesignSpark Mechanical, a no-cost direct modeling 3D solid geometry creation and assembly tool.īased on SpaceClaim Engineer code, DesignSpark Mechanical isn’t so much a “dumbed-down” or feature limited version of the comprehensive modeling package but a rearrangement of the interface to simplify it for new and/or casual users, say SpaceClaim reps. This bundle features both the DS Mechanical Exchange and DS Mechanical Drawing modules.Typically, learning to use 3D CAD software efficiently requires a sizeable investment in time and money-two factors that keep many drafters rooted to their familiar 2D packages and many would-be designers at arms length from complex 3D applications. Need both? Get the fully extended functionality all in one package with our bundle offer, and turn DesignSpark Mechanical into a low-cost yet high performance 3D design solution for all your prototyping and production needs. Drawings support annotations, including geometric dimensioning and tolerances, notes and leaders, to JIS, ISO, and ANSI® standards. The drawing environment provides a familiar work space for those accustomed to working in 2D.
This great module lets you change designs as well as create and modify geometry from within drawing views. This module turns DesignSpark Mechanical into a low-cost 3D design solution, ideal for companies wanting to create fabulous product concepts without having to invest in 3D CAD licenses and training, or for businesses wanting to reduce reliance on contractors for final design creation and manufacturing. With this module you can freely import, modify, and export the industry standard STEP and IGES file formats, allowing you to fully exchange design data with CAD tools such as SolidWorks, Catia, ProEngineer, and AutoCAD. With this in mind, we are introducing optional premium modules that will give those users the advanced capability they require. As it’s popularity continues to grow, we’ve worked with our users to understand what they want in addition to the standard free functionality that would help them take their designs from concept to production-ready. Introducing the NEW DesignSpark Mechanical Add-On ModulesĭesignSpark Mechanical is and always will be free software with continued support and new versions introduced periodically.
