![]() They do have a parts library with their part numbers and a BOM function, so it may just be them trying to get makers to use their stuff as well. Maybe it is not as powerful, but so far it has been a good experience with Design Spark. I like it better than Sketchup, although I am still a noob at both. I have not used FreeCad, only tinkerCAD and Sketchup. ![]() There are no CAD formats supported (open formats like IGES and STEP or proprietary formats like ACIS, Parasolid). ![]() One other thing that makes DesignSpark stand apart from SpaceClaim is the available export formats. The STL export from a solid will almost always produce a valid file. You don't have those problems when you work with a solid object. That's also the reason why it is so tricky to produce watertight models. Sketchup can work with STL files because it is a mesh modeler, not a solid modeler. STL being a mesh format, it is mostly useless in MCAD. Usually in CAD you don't import STL as it is a purely export format intended for a single purpose: rapid prototyping. So you don't as a rule erase faces because that would destroy your solid model.īut reading a little on DesignSpark, there seem to be a few differences with SpaceClaim. Just so you know, SpaceClaim, on which DesignSpark is based, is a mechanical CAD solid modeler, that is, its purpose is to create solids.
