Version 5.0 of DesignSpark Mechanical is available to download for free personal and commercial use here.

“This latest upgrade further enhances the software and provides an even better user experience that reflects the changing needs of engineers.” “Since first launching DesignSpark Mechanical in 2013 we have been committed to providing engineers with free resources that enable them to rapidly develop prototypes in the product concept design stage,” says Mike Bray, Group VP of Innovation and DesignSpark.

Enhanced shading-display objects with shading when exposed to ambient lighting like in real lifeĭesignSpark Mechanical also features built-in help text, quick-guide tutorials, example designs and access to a 3D catalog of tens of thousands of 3D models from leading component manufacturers.

Customizable shortcuts-access any tool in DSM with one click.

Custom rendering-adjust faceting per-body or full design to achieve better surface finish and optimize for better performance on hardware.

Custom views, saving new perspectives of a design for quick access.

Measure tab with geometry analysis and quality check tools.

Constraint-based sketching and dedicated 3D sketch mode.

Key features of DesignSpark Mechanical Version 5.0 are outlined in this video and include:

The new release coincides also with the 10-year anniversary of DesignSpark, RS Components’ global online engineering community.ĭeveloped in conjunction with Ansys Inc., DesignSpark Mechanical uses direct modeling technology rather than the parametric methods used by traditional CAD software, enabling users to rapidly prototype or reverse engineer any physical object. Based on direct user feedback, DesignSpark Mechanical Version 5.0 offers new features, enhancements and customization options that have been developed following feedback from users. But you can buy extensions where you get more functions what you can use it for your project.īut the problem is that you can only use this program on systems that have Windows installed.Īnd so I got the idea to start this project here to find a way to solve this problem.RS Components (RS), a trading brand of Electrocomponents plc, has unveiled the latest version of DesignSpark Mechanical, its free 3D CAD modeling software. DesignSpark Mechanical is a free, downloadable, 3D solid modeling and assembly tool developed in conjunction with SpaceClaim.
