RS Components has also collaborated with 3D content company TraceParts to provide access to millions of models from the online CAD portal in DesignSpark Mechanical’s format. With access to more than 38,000 3D models in the DesignSpark online component library, DesignSpark Mechanical gives engineers the ability to rapidly undertake an end-to-end design with professional-grade modelling tools that are available at zero cost. This is a highly significant initiative that helps engineers bring innovative products to market quickly as DesignSpark Mechanical’s Standard Template Library (STL) output format enables direct export of designs to 3D printers.” “The use of DesignSpark Mechanical early in the design cycle can eliminate much of the time-consuming rework associated with traditional product development processes. "The number two city in the world for downloads is Sydney," says Crundle.
Users appear to be responding positively with over 42,000 downloads of DesignSpark Mechanical in the first week iteslf. Engineers will love using modelling software that is so intuitive and flexible,” said Crundle (pictured alongside). “The launch of DesignSpark Mechanical is the first time a 3D design tool with this level of sophistication has been made freely available. People using 3d tools over 2D save about 45 percent of their time during the design phase.ĭesignSpark Mechanical free, its 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.
"Only five percent of the world's engineering popukation have acccess to 3D tools," Mark Crundle told Electronics News at the launch in Sydney. Cundle is Global Head of Technical Marketing at RS Components.
These impediments are the prohibitive costs and the considerable investment in learning time associated with traditional 3D computer-aided design (CAD) tools. The availability of DesignSpark Mechanical overcomes the two major barriers to entry faced by potential users who do not have access to a 3D design solution and can benefit from 3D modelling to quickly develop sophisticated concepts and products. The new 3D solid modelling and assembly tool is available free of charge.ĭeveloped in conjunction with SpaceClaim, DesignSpark Mechanical is a step in the evolution of the DesignSpark online resource hub for the engineering community. RS Components has unveiled DesignSpark Mechanical in Australia.
