Compare DesignSpark Mechanical и SharkCAD Pro

Benefits:

it is free, it is complete and very professional

Drawbacks:

i woul like to use a command line with the same commands like in the famous Autocad. So an Autocad operator has not to learn cad again.

Designspark Mechanical is easy to get started with. The user interface and tools are much more intuitive than some of the other options that I've tried in the past. It is refreshing to see an interface that doesn't have icons and options littered all over the screen. Even though the software is simpler to use, I'm still able to easily model things that are dimensionally accurate. Some of the other "simple" 3D modeling programs are not so great at that.

Drawbacks:

Although it can do most of what the other software packages can do, sometimes the path to get there can be a bit different. One thing that I struggled with was mirroring of objects. You actually have to make the mirror line before you start drawing, or you just can't mirror things. That takes a little more thought ahead of time to remember that.

Overall, I'd say that this software works great for me. I've used a number of other 3D modeling packages, and I keep coming back to this one when I need to model up a small part for 3D printing. They seem to be continuing the development of this software and they've kept it free, so what is there to complain about!

Le logiciel est très intuitif dans son utilisation. On arrive rapidement à des modélisations très efficaces. C'est le logiciel CAO le plus simple et facile de ce que j'ai vu, de tout les retours des personnes que je connais, et des discussions sur forums. Il permet un résultat complétement professionnel, et permet de faire de l'impression 3D avec l'export en STL. Le logiciel est gratuit.

Le logiciel est gratuit, mais nécessite d'avoir internet (pas d'utilisation offline) et de créer un compte gratuit. Le gros point noir qui peut peser est qu'il est impossible d'enregistrer l'assemblage dans un format partageable sur un autre logiciel (type STL). Toute les créations sont donc perdue si vous changé de logiciel Aucun autre logiciel n'ouvrant du RSDOC. Il est impossible également de faire une mise en plan, sans payer un Plugin. On peut acheter un plugin pour exporter en STEP, pour environ 800 euros. Ce qui n'est pas donné pour un maker.

J'utilise DesignSpark Mechanical pour de la création, du design pour l'impression 3D et autres projets personnels. Je suis complètement ravis d'utiliser DesignSpark, mais l'impossibilité d'enregistrer en STEP et le faite de devoir être tout le temps en ligne, me fait me questionner quand au changement de logiciel...

Apart from the fact it's free, well the basic package anyway (there are Add-Ons), I don't think you could call any engineering software truly intuitive, but I really was up and designing things the first day. That was in 2015. I wouldn't call myself an expert user, sometimes I won't touch it for weeks or more, but each time I do it always does what I want it to do.

DSM does lack a few features, for instance object colours and decent rendering, and back grounds, though v5 has made significant improvement on those. I was disappointed to find there's almost nothing in the way of built in or online libraries. Communicating with companies who use other packages is becoming more of a problem as dsm can only export a handfull of formats. There is another Add-On which improves that situation though.

To be honest a significant amount of use for me is quicly sketching things up (ie subsea equipment layout) to email to clients, either screen captures or 3D PDF. I do use it for real mechanical drawings however, for 3D printing as well as sending good quality 2D drawings to our engineering shop (though I did purchase the 'Drawing' Add-on for that)
