Bend plate, expand, send as DXF to laser

Many designs include bent sheet metal of various kinds. You can easily create these in IRONCAD with the extensive Sheet Metal functions included. Create different types of bent sheets, simple bend or as e.g. lofted sheets (e.g. "round to square") by beam bending. Select bend radius and customizable K-factor. On an associative 2D drawing you can show the angle at which each individual bend should be bent. You can get started in no time!

Depicting 3D models on 2D drawings

Quickly create dimensioned assembly and detail drawings in 2D, including parts lists that automatically retrieve information from 3D such as item number, material and number of parts included in the assembly. The parts list can be exported to Excel if desired.

With IRONCAD , the time to create clear and selling documentation such as spare parts lists and assembly instructions is reduced to a minimum.

Attachments for wheel loaders and tractors are designed with IRONCAD

Drivex is one of Sweden's leading suppliers of equipment for construction machinery. All new development at the company now takes place using IRONCAD as a 3D CAD tool. The company was founded in Edsbyn in 1969 by three brothers who, together with their families, are still the majority owners of the company. Since 1992, Drivex, in Edsbyn, has been manufacturing tools for machine construction and road maintenance. The DRIVEX brand is today a leader in the industry.

"After first working with IRONCAD , then with a parametric 3D CAD system, I realized how powerful IRONCAD is and immediately wanted to go back! Now that we can choose freely, we use IRONCAD again. You can make exactly the change you want exactly when you need to. It was impossible to work that way in the other program. Many more people would probably use IRONCAD if they took the time to check out how it actually works." Says Robert Eriksson, CAD manager at Drivex AB in Edsbyn.

Broddson opted out of constraints-based parametric 3D program

Richard Liljedahl of Broddson says of IRONCAD:"We felt that our previous parametric CAD system was competent, but that parametric design was too cumbersome. Conditions and constraints must be managed, similar to building a house of cards.Inaddition, each detail has to be saved directly to its own file, which is of no use to us - we want to be able to create and modify as easily as possible".

Broddson was therefore looking for an alternative 3D CAD solution. Richard continues:"I happened to see a movie on YouTube showing how IRONCAD worked. I immediately thought that this seems to be something completely different! I downloaded IRONCAD and tried it myself and together with the training material in Swedish, which is also available on YouTube, I quickly got started." Says Richard Liljedahl, designer at Broddson AB.

YPV develops and manufactures attachments for construction machinery in Europe. IRONCAD

YPV (Ytterviks Prototypverkstad AB), is a Swedish company that had the idea to focus on manufacturing prototypes and production tools for different industries. Quite quickly, the focus shifted to specializing in the development and manufacture of tools for construction machinery. Since its inception in 1992, the company has built up solid experience and a wide range of expertise in the field, making it a reliable partner for construction customers.

"What I like about IRONCAD is its flexibility and how quickly you can draw new models and modify existing ones.A large part of our production is customer-specific tools and there we need to be able to easily adjust the models to the customer's specific needs." Says Pontus Lundström at YPV.
