Videos are without narration, but I tried to make them short and understandable. I've made these three video tutorials to share my experience of using common tools and some useful tricks. Once you have downloaded and installed it from the download page you can start your experiments. Still it's quite a powerful and easy to use tool, which I consider to be the best available free CAD modelling tool. In fact it's a limited version of SpaceClaim Engineer. That's why when I found that DesignSpark launched free DesignSpark Mechanical modelling software I was just excited.

Unfortunately, professional CAD software is expensive. Not saying that to 3D print you just need to model it in some design software. It can save your time and resources and give you certain insights on improvements of your initial idea. You will also find a wide range of supporting content, including blogs and product reviews of the industry’s newest product developments.It's generally a good idea in DIY(and not only DIY) projects to model your future device in 3d before start actually making something. The ‘Design Centre’ at includes resources for leading development board platforms such as Raspberry Pi, Arduino and mbed, as well other areas for 3D CAD design and open-source development. Circuit design tools like the Toolbox App.

Featuring schematics, PCB component libraries, and a large archive of 2D and 3D CAD models in many formats including PADS, OrCAD, Altium and CADSTAR.Ī wide range of other tools are also available: Supporting these tools is one of the industry’s largest online databases of free engineering models.

We also feature premium paid for module add-ons for DesignSpark Mechanical which adds full import and export abilities for IGES and STEP file types, GD&T and much more, turning DesignSpark Mechanical into an industry standard package on par with bespoke software. DesignSpark Mechanical 3D CAD modelling software.DesignSpark is a community where engineers can find a huge repository of resources to help them with their designs and project aspirations, including free design tools for 3D CAD design, Electrical CAD and PCB layout, our extensive Product Data Library (PDL), our great Toolbox App, as well as a huge library of component models, and an active design forum.ĭownload these free Design tools at DesignSpark:
