If you need a low (or no) cost 3D modeling tool for Windows, DesignSpark Mechanical 4.0 could be for you. I could go on, but you’d best read the notes yourself.įor now the software is considered a beta release, and they are expecting users to report issues so that they can be fixed before the final release. “In the Split Body tool, you can now use Local Slicing to split a solid with a cylindrical surface! Previously, only planar faces, datum planes, and their edge loops were selectable.” Developed in conjunction with SpaceClaim, the leading provider of flexible and powerful 3D. This is like the Pull Edge user-interface in Sheet Metal and sets the point where the simulated cutter will stop.” Splitting a face using a curved surface Available completely free of charge, DesignSpark Mechanical is a powerful 3D CAD modelling software tool that is very easy to learn, and provides a highly intuitive user experience to help engineers create design concepts in 3D faster than ever before. With an edge selected, when you click the Chamfer option in the Pull tool, the edge ends switch to yellow cones that can be dragged. “Stop Chamfers have conical stop faces that mimic the effect of an angled cutting tool rotating and coming-to-a-stop in the middle of an edge. Most of them seem to be general improvements and refinements to 3D model editing.

Advanced chamfers in DesignSpark Mechanical 4.0 By going through their release notes document, which actually is literally 79 pages long, there are plenty of detailed changes. What are the new features in DesignSpark 4.0? Honestly, there is almost too much to tell.
