Free analogues of Compass 3D

One of the best in design automation paid systems– Compass-3. There are three versions of this program available to users: the “Compass-3D” itself, the “Compass-3D Home” and “Compass-3D LT” systems.

The Compass system is not cheap, so by installing a similar free program, your savings reach 93,000 rubles.

DraftSight

DraftSight – does not require any fees, just register and that’s it.

In fact, this planar design system duplicates AutoCAD. Can work with files with the DWG extension of any version. Program settings are available in a wide range.

Among the languages ​​of the package there is Russian. The interface will not cause any inconvenience, and the program's capabilities are impressive.

There is a distribution for almost any existing operating system

CADE

A good program for editing diagrams is CADE. It is completely free, but its main purpose is to design network diagrams. Compatible with formats: dbr, pdf, jpeg, shp, dwg, dgn, dxf, dts. Mapping capability and UML support included.

LibreCAD

Another system for working in 2D is the free LibreCAD. This system runs on Windows, Linux and MacOS X. Its functionality contains many tools: polygons, arcs, lines, circles. There are many modifiers. The interface will not be surprising - it is standard.

FreeCAD

FreeCAD is a free CAD system that works with 3D models. Multiplatform. The program is good for use in engineering work for design and technical design. Can create models for printing on a 3D printer, thanks to support for the STL format.

It is compatible with SVG formats(Scalable Vector Graphics), DXF, OBJ (Wavefront), STEP, IGES, STL (STereoLithography), DAE (Collada), IV (Inventor), SCAD (OpenSCAD) and IFC. In addition, FreeCAD uses its own formats.

A9Tech

Another free analogue Compass-3 – A9Tech. Works in its own formats. The program elements are standard, it is possible to create drawings. A9Tech supports layer-by-layer work in the drawing, allowing you to spend less effort on work.

QCAD

You need free program to create complex 2D drawings and plans? The main purpose of QCAD is to help architects and mechanical engineers draw. Its CAD collection reaches more than 4,700 finished parts. The main problem with this system is the lack of compatibility with files in the DWG format. Only DXF format is supported. You can draw arcs, ellipses, circles, points, straight lines and other elements.

QCAD functionality will enable the designer necessary tools to create and modify plans and drawings. The kit includes 35 fonts needed for CAD. Unlike others free systems design has the ability to print to scale. Additional process control is provided command line located at the bottom of the main QCAD window. The interface is not complicated, it is understandable at the level of intuition. System requirements They are pleased with their low level.

BRL-CAD

BRL-CAD is another one of the free CAD products. This cross-platform program is capable of working with three-dimensional objects using an interactive geometry editor. This powerful application has been in development for over 20 years. The main disadvantage is that it is quite difficult to understand.

KOMPAS-3D capabilities for mechanical engineering and instrument making

The design of machine-building and instrument-making products imposes high demands on the tools used. KOMPAS-3D meets the most modern requirements. The system's capabilities ensure the design of mechanical engineering products of any complexity and in accordance with the most advanced design methods. The system contains tools for working using the “top-down” or top-down design method, as well as using the already familiar “bottom-up” method.


Classic solid modeling

KOMPAS-3D allows you to work on various parts and assemblies using solid modeling, which is perfect for designing various shafts, bushings, brackets and housings different configurations. The basic commands here are extrusion and rotation operations.


Creating sheet metal parts and shells

For mechanical engineering and instrument making, a typical task is the design and subsequent production of sheet metal products. KOMPAS-3D contains a rich toolkit for designing such parts, allowing you to create the most complex structures from sheet metal, followed by automatic development of the designed parts. When designing sheet metal parts and shells, it will be easy to create parts using:

  • shells,
  • folds,
  • cutting,
  • cutouts,
  • elements of open and closed stamping,
  • blinds and collars.


Design with complex surfaces

When designing parts with complex geometry, the surface modeling functionality will be useful. Similar problems are encountered when designing blades and when designing instrument bodies that are made of plastic. The use of surface modeling will make it possible to obtain parts of various shapes and thereby meet the requirements put forward for these products - be it streamlining or ergonomics. There are many options for constructing complex surfaces:

  • by squeezing out
  • rotation,
  • kinematic operation,
  • by sections,
  • by points,
  • along a layer of points,
  • along a network of curves.

Formation of an electronic model of products

When designing in KOMPAS-3D, you receive an electronic model that may contain the data necessary for the manufacture and subsequent life stages of your product. A model created in KOMPAS-3D can already contain:

  • properties and name of the material,
  • dimensions taking into account tolerance,
  • technical requirements,
  • roughness,
  • form tolerances,
  • base designation,
  • designation of places of branding and marking.

Moreover, you can receive documentation for such a product automatically. The specification is generated based on the 3D model of the assembly unit, and the creation of drawings will consist of placing associative views from the 3D model on the drawing format.


Easy to learn and use

The system has a simple and intuitive interface that allows you to quickly master the functionality and get to work. To make the first steps of working in the system easier, KOMPAS-3D contains interactive lessons for learning the basic tools, which are collected in the “ABC KOMPAS-3D”. This alphabet will help you ready-made examples understand the capabilities of KOMPAS-3D and begin solving work problems as soon as possible. "ABC KOMPAS-3D" contains examples.
