Mechanical Download and Installation
You can set up your DesignSpark Mechanical software in just a few simple steps.
We recommend checking whether your machine can facilitate the software requirements listed at the bottom of the page before getting started. After that, all you need to do is follow the instructions below to get the software installed.
Our in-depth tutorials will help you get to grips with the software, covering the basics right up to more advanced functions so that you can get good use out of its CAD modelling capabilities.
There are plenty of resources you can use to build your skill set and aid the learning process. We have a page with dedicated DesignSpark Mechanical software articles, as well as a forum that allows you to connect with and learn from other users.
Any questions or issues can be dealt with by raising a support ticket. However, we encourage you to check our FAQs page first in case it already has the information you're looking for.
