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 press 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!
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.

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.
This is what Richard Liljedahl at Broddson says about IRONCAD:"We found that our previous parametric CAD system, while competent, was far too cumbersome to use for parametric design. Conditions and constraints must be administered, reminiscent of building houses of cards..."
SaysRichard Liljedahl, designer at Broddson AB.
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.
IRONCAD is built for design-intensive industries where you often work with large assemblies, sheet metal, hydraulics, layouts or special machines. You can drag and drop finished components from catalogs, change entire machines in seconds, and switch freely between 2D and 3D environments - perfect for automation, sheet metal bending, construction machinery, hydraulic systems, layout planning, construction forging, and packaging design.
Our basic training is 2 + 2 days (4 days in total). Already after the first two days, most designers are fully productive on basic 3D modeling and assembly. The final two days focus on advanced features, catalog management and your own projects.
Yes - we supply ready-made basic templates and catalogue structures that you can easily customize yourself with your own standard components, beam profiles, hydraulic hoses, sheet metal parts or packaging standards. It only takes a few minutes to fill up with your items and you save a lot of time in the future.
Absolutely. With our Translator, you can open, edit and save files from other CAD systems without losing geometry.
Extremely powerful. You can manage tens of thousands of parts in the same file, move entire machines or factory layouts with a single click and see everything in real time - perfect for layout, construction machinery and automation projects.
Sheet metal bending and layout is included in the basic version of IRONCAD - you get sheet metal layout, bending lines and accurate fabrication data instantly. For construction forging, powerful beam and profile tools and hole tables are included in IC Mechanical.
Yes - all our support and training is in Swedish and we have extensive experience in automation, sheet metal bending, hydraulics, construction and packaging. You get answers quickly.
Of course we do. We always provide a free trial license (30-60 days) with your own drawings and layouts so you can see exactly how much time you save before you decide.
