“I am a complete novice and I am trying to teach myself how to design simple PCBs. I worked through the DesignSpark tutorial and I found it very easy to understand. I particularly liked how easily a schematic could be drawn and then transformed into a PCB. The 3D viewing capability is also very useful. Other free packages that I tried seemed to have many useful features disabled.”

“Before using DesignSpark PCB, I had to send my PCB designs out to a firm using PADS2000, which was too expensive to own. With DS PCB, I can now do them myself and check them immediately, rather than sending designs back for corrections.”
- Dave Sheppard, First Design Consultants
“Staff on our electronics courses are interested in using DesignSpark as it links with the RS catalogue (from which we order our components) and students can install the software on their home computers. We’re really pleased there is a version aimed at educational institutions, and we’ll give this a go.”
- Richard Manley, IT Manager, University of the West of England
"I’ve used DS PCB from the earliest time it was published and am currently using Version 5. I’m very impressed with the continuing development and quality of the product. I have a number of designs on the market created using the software. Well done RS!”
- Simon Tullett, Product Manager Analytical Automation, TTP Labtech Ltd.

"I finally got round to having a "play" with Designspark Mechanical and I am still of the opinion that this is the easiest to use 3D-CAD software out there!"
"Unlike other software of a similar type, DesignSpark is ridiculously simple to use. It's intuitive and, in my humble opinion, works the way 3D-CAD software should work, if I want to create a cube, I draw a square and drag it to make it thicker how much more simple could it be?"
