Description

Our goal is to empower engineers by enabling them to swiftly create and modify product designs in 3D, all without the need to master complex conventional CAD software. We offer a variety of complimentary design tools and resources that help transform your most innovative ideas into tangible products ready for production. Whether you need a simple design tool, extensive technical details, or a comprehensive design ecosystem, our complete suite can easily integrate into your current design workflow. You can import or save 3D models from multiple suppliers in the RSDOC format to enhance your ongoing DesignSpark Mechanical projects and expedite your design timeline. Instantly generate a Bill of Materials (BoM) with a single click and access quotes featuring real-time pricing and stock availability via the RS online or Allied Electronics platforms. This service is made possible through our collaboration with TraceParts S.A., a leading provider of 3D digital content tailored for engineering purposes, ensuring that you have the best tools at your disposal to elevate your design capabilities. By simplifying the design process, we enable engineers to focus more on creativity and innovation.

Description

High-quality 3D CAD software designed for engineering and product design is available through Inventor® CAD software, which offers extensive tools for 3D mechanical design, documentation, and product simulation. This software allows users to operate efficiently by combining various design methods, such as parametric, direct, freeform, and rules-based approaches. Collaborate seamlessly with anyone, regardless of the CAD software they utilize, and leverage cloud-based design reviews to gather insights from important stakeholders wherever they are located. It supports the entire product development process with a unified data model, enabling more effective design through specialized features for sheet metal, frame design, and tube and pipe. Additionally, users can enhance their design, documentation, and process automation efforts using iLogic. The Inventor API allows for the creation of custom add-ins, while the Forge Design Automation API offers the ability to execute job processes in the cloud, providing further flexibility and innovation in design workflows. By utilizing these advanced tools, teams can significantly improve their efficiency and collaboration throughout the design process.
