It is surprisingly easy and you will get productive after the first day or two. I recently started with Design Spark Mechanical and was able to do all the necessary drawings to design a scara attempt (see my sig). Here I created an assembly of components for a ULPA filter for 3D printers, and then an exploded view: The main advantage of that is support for other CAD formats.īeing able to create assemblies is powerful. Their pro CAD software is called Geomagic Design, and can only be purchased through dealers (not a great way to market software.). They had a lot of videos that got me started. Their "Design" product is about what I started with when it was called Alibre Design - I only paid $100 for it back then. Their "Invent" product is about $49 and would be used for more basic objects, since you cannot make assemblies of objects. The basic drawing interface / dimensioning / constraining system is the same. Some time back Alibre was all purchased by 3DSystems and they now have a few entry-level 3D design products that are still very powerful, and output STL's too. I've been using this for several years and like it. I started with Alibre Design, and upgraded to their pro product later called Geomagic Design with a promotion.
