DesignSpark Mechanical is a free CAD software that focuses on mechanical design – that is to say, it provides tools that are best suitable for designing machines and machine parts. Despite being free, it offers many features typically associated with paid (and expensive) CAD software. For example, DesignSpark Mechanical has a library of various machine parts from different suppliers, and allows users to insert 3D models of these parts into their design. Additionally, if you’re using RS Components or Allied Electronics as your supplier, the software suite can also tell you how much these components will cost you. A variety of tools for measuring the geometry of created models are also included. However, DesignSpark Mechanical cannot natively run on MacOS – but this is not a problem as the application can still be launched in several ways described in the article below.
