“RS is partnering with SpaceClaim to launch DesignSpark Mechanical, which combines the power and ease-of-use of direct modelling technology from SpaceClaim with access to the massive RS library of standard parts,” said Rich Moore, vice president of business development for SpaceClaim. RS has also collaborated with world-leading 3D content company TraceParts to provide access to millions of models from the online CAD portal in DesignSpark Mechanical format. With access to more than 38,000 3D models in the extensive DesignSpark online component library, DesignSpark Mechanical gives all engineers the ability to rapidly undertake an end-to-end design with professional-grade modelling tools that are at zero cost.

IDF from many other tools), and can export files in. The package can exchange data with component databases and with DesignSpark PCB (or in. RS believes that using DesignSpark Mechanical early in the design cycle can eliminate much of the time-consuming rework associated with traditional product development processes.
The software employs the same use paradigm as SpaceClaim’s own product – you manipulate geometry with four basic actions that have more in common with established Windows and mobile-device operation than with traditional CAD. Not only is DesignSpark 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. These impediments are the prohibitive costs and the considerable investment in learning time associated with traditional 3D CAD tools. The availability of DesignSpark Mechanical overcomes, RS adds, two major barriers to entry faced by potential users who do not currently have access to a 3D design solution, but who could benefit from the use of 3D modelling to quickly develop sophisticated concepts and products.
