VirtualMEC is a dedicated 3D CAD application for Meccano® models building. VirtualMEC is a stand-alone Windows application. You will not need anything else to virtually
build any Meccano® model. Building models with VirtualMEC is much as building models with the real Meccano®: you start with a part, insert a bolt into a hole, then
add another part, add a nut to the bolt, and so on. VirtualMEC contains the rendering and the behaviour logic of more than
750 parts.
Cords, rubber bands and chains are excluded.
VirtualMEC supports an interactive and intuitive way for bending parts.
With VirtualMEC you can build every type of model, show it in different renderings, print it, apply different colour schemes to it and share model files with other
users. Once you have built a model, you can playback the whole building process from the first part to the last one, as a continuous "movie" or one part at a time
at your own pace. That's the easiest way to build the "real" version of a model. Just watch each step and apply it to the real model.
Here are some sample models built with VirtualMEC. Click on each thumbnail to show a larger image.

You can
download and try the demo version of VirtualMEC. The demo version of VirtualMEC has all the features of the retail
versions with some limitations: you cannot save or print models; you cannot playback/animate a model's building process. Once you have downloaded and installed
it, you can practice the included
Tutorial (you will find it in the Help Topics) that will guide you through the process
of building the Scooter model shown above. You will realize how it is simple to build virtual models (and quite similar to build real ones). Then, you can decide
to
unlock the retail version of VirtualMEC, that enables you to build models as big as you like.
VirtualMEC is based on
OpenGL, the industry's foundation for high performance graphics.
