RS Components brings 3D design capability to all engineers with DesignSpark Mechanical

Free, fast and intuitive design software opens up new possibilities for engineers from concept design through to manufacturing

FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 16, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allied Electronics (Allied) and RS Components (RS), the trading brands of Electrocomponents plc (ECM.L), the world's leading high service distributor of electronics and maintenance products, today announced a significant development in the history of 3D design software with the unveiling of DesignSpark Mechanical, a new 3D solid modeling and assembly tool that is available to all -- totally free of charge.

Developed in conjunction with SpaceClaim, the leading provider of flexible and affordable 3D modeling software for engineers, the new easy-to-use DesignSpark Mechanical will bring major benefits to design engineers around the world and is available in multiple languages. It is a significant step in the evolution of the DesignSpark online resource hub for the engineering community.

The availability of DesignSpark Mechanical overcomes the two major barriers to entry faced by potential users who do not currently have access to a 3D design solution, but who could benefit enormously from the use of 3D modeling to quickly develop sophisticated concepts and products. These impediments are the prohibitive costs and the considerable investment in learning time associated with traditional 3D CAD tools. Not only is DesignSpark Mechanical free, its simplicity of use means that engineers and others involved in product development can become fully conversant with the software within minutes, rather than the weeks or months required to become skilled with traditional 3D CAD tools.

"The launch of DesignSpark Mechanical is the first time a 3D design tool with this level of sophistication has been made freely available. Engineers will love using modeling software that is so intuitive and flexible," said Dan Stewart, Vice President of Marketing at Allied Electronics. "The use of DesignSpark Mechanical early in the design cycle can eliminate much of the time-consuming rework associated with traditional product development processes. This is a highly significant initiative that helps engineers to bring innovative products to market quickly, and DesignSpark Mechanical's STL output format enables direct export of designs to 3D printers." With access to more than 38,000 3D models in the extensive DesignSpark online component library, DesignSpark Mechanical gives all engineers the ability to rapidly undertake an end-to-end design with professional-grade modeling tools that are at zero cost. RS and Allied have also collaborated with world-leading 3D content company TraceParts to provide access to millions of models from the online tracepartsonline.net CAD portal in DesignSpark Mechanical format.

"Allied and RS are partnering with SpaceClaim to launch DesignSpark Mechanical, which combines the power and ease-of-use of direct modeling technology from SpaceClaim with access to the massive library of standard parts from Allied and RS, trusted by millions of engineers around the world," said Rich Moore, vice president of business development for SpaceClaim. "Feature-based CAD is more difficult to learn and with DesignSpark Mechanical, users can rapidly create 3D models to accelerate engineering design and improve their competitive advantage."

The active base of 3D CAD seats globally is currently estimated at approximately 1.5 million. However, it is also estimated that there are an additional 20 million engineers globally who do not currently use 3D CAD, but could significantly benefit from a tool such as DesignSpark Mechanical. It will enable design engineers not only to be more creative, but will also support a more efficient product development process, allowing the production of professional concepts right through to delivering highly detailed and dimensioned manufacturing blueprints.

DesignSpark Mechanical employs a powerful methodology called 'direct modeling', which is very different from traditional feature- or parametric-based 3D CAD software. The tool uses simple gestures that enable real-time editing and instant feedback, making it possible for engineers and others to create geometry and easily explore ideas and product concepts in 3D. All basic designs can be achieved quickly and easily via the use of the software's four basic tools -- Pull, Move, Fill and Combine -- in addition to its employment of familiar Windows keyboard shortcuts such as cut/paste, undo/redo, which makes it highly intuitive for new users.

The software can also be used as a complementary 3D tool in the product development process for the creation of early concept designs, for instance, alongside 3D CAD tools that are already in use today. The tool can remove bottlenecks in the early design process by allowing changes and additions in seconds, rather than having to wait for the CAD department using the traditional 3D tools to rework the design.

If you dont write all the time, then you probably dont need a full-featured word processor, such as Microsoft Word () or Apple Pages (). But you still may want a flexible tool for handling text that lets you compose rsums and recipes, letters and flyers. You know what? You already have one: Apples TextEdit.

This text app comes as part of OS X, and can meet many of your writing needs. It doesnt offer advanced page layout features such as columns and image wrap, but it does provide most of the fundamentals.Simplicity comes with benefits, too. TextEdit is sleek and fast. It takes a half-second to launch, and it doesnt lag even if you have a document containing hundreds of pages. On top of that, TextEdit can save documents to Apples iCloud, so if you have a desktop Mac and a laptop, you can work on your documents at home and know theyll still be at hand when youre on the road.

Still need convincing? Here are six TextEdit tips that show off what this free, easy-to-use program can do.

TextEdit offers a zoom feature with two sizes: tiny and huge. Not very practical when you want to write something and see other windows on your Mac. You can access it from the View menu: Actual size is the size of the page set in File > Page Setup. You can also choose to Zoom In (Command-Shift-. [period]) or Zoom out (Command-Shift-, [comma]), but unlike most word processors, you cant pick a zoom percentage.

Theres a top-secret gesture, however, that lets you fine-tune TextEdits zoom. Just pinch on a trackpad, either inward or outward, to zoom in smaller increments. (Sorry, theres no way to do this with a mouse.) With a bit of practice, youll find the right size, and it will be a lot easier to work with your TextEdit documents.

If you need to make a lista to-do list, or an outlineyou can choose from a number of list styles from the Format > List menu. You can also choose list styles from the List bullets and numbering button in the toolbar. (Note: You need to be in Rich Text mode to make lists. If you dont see a toolbar with formatting buttons, choose Format > Make Rich Text, or press Command-T.)

But if you just want a simple list that uses hyphens, or if you want to do some quick brainstorming and then format your list later, heres a tip that will save you a lot of time. Press Option-Tab, either at the beginning of a line, or at any location in a paragraph, and that text will change to an indented list paragraph preceded by a hyphen. When youve finished brainstorming, select all your list items, then choose Format > List to choose another type of bullet or numbering.

If youre writing a document that has links to webpages in it, its often best that these links be active; when the reader clicks them, you want the webpage to open in a browser. But, if you paste a link in TextEdit, it wont be active.

To make an active link, paste the link and click or select it. Then right-click or control-click and choose Make Link. TextEdit will know that youve clicked a link, and willconvert it into a blue, underlined, active link.

This works for links in any of the following formats: macworld.com, http://www.macworld.com, or http://www.macworld.com.
