Exploration of DesignSpark Mechanical CAD

  • DesignSpark Mechanical (Version 6) just became available in January 2023.
    • According to Wikipedia, "DesignSpark Mechanical is based on the SpaceClaim Engineer application and is the product of a collaboration between RS Components and Ansys, Inc."
    • Earlier versions of DesignSpark have been free but have had some "add-on" options ($) available to make it more useful.
    • I do remember looking at it at version 4, and thinking that it came up short of my needs.
    • Not any more. Version 6 is now a fully capable stand-alone professional CAD application.
  • Signed up for 7-day free trial of CREATOR Plan ($12/mo)
  • Registered and created an account
    • Used my email as username
  • Downloaded & installed on Windows 10
  • This 10-minute "Gee Whiz" video (by a former Solid Works user) showcases some of the amazing power of DS Mechanical

What is it exactly that makes DSM such an obvious and compelling choice?

  • Reason #1: It uses a sophisticated Direct Modeling kernel, allowing it to be extremely easy to learn and easy to use. This CAD kernel Primer should help you appreciate the importance of this.

  • Reason #2: It is Very Affordable

Always choose high quality tools, not only because they will help you do a job faster, easier, safer and better, but because they are a joy to use.
