Mercado Produktion AB manufactures advanced welding and assembly fixtures for the automotive industry and uses IRONCAD significantly reduce lead times. "With drag-and-drop and TriBall, we build fixtures in days instead of weeks," says Daniel Mercado. Read more about how Mercado Produktion uses IRONCAD
Using pins and holes makes it easy to place different parts in the right place before welding, for example. It is used for fixtures, among other things, but also for general machine construction. Parts designed in IRONCAD often IRONCAD via DXF to a laser cutting machine that creates parts with exact dimensions.
This feature is included in IC Mechanical —a powerful add-on to IRONCAD makes it quick and easy to create mechanical details. The tool works equally well on both Innovative Parts and Sheet Metal Parts.

Import customer details from STEP or other formats and edit directly with dual solid kernels ACIS and Parasolid) – no history to lock you in. Add holes, face milling, or convert to sheet metal for fixture bases in seconds. Everything is saved in a single file for easy management of the entire fixture. Create 2D drawings with automatic parts lists.
Create bent sheet metal parts with the Sheet Metal tools: draw simple sketches, add bends, and export flattened DXF files for laser cutting or press braking. Adjust angles and radii with handles in 3D.

Start with 2D sketches without mandatory constraints and build on to 3D with extrusion or sweeping. Add parameters only when you need variations – perfect in the concept phase of fixtures.

Drag and drop standard components from catalogs, edit imported customer geometry directly without history issues, and create complete 2D drawings with parts lists in minutes. Let us show you how IRONCAD shortens lead times, reduces errors, and gives you full control over fixture projects. These features are included in IRONCAD no add-on module is needed for basic fixture design. The trial version includes the same functionality as a "live" version. Free support during the trial period. Completely free for 30 days.
Learn more about catalogs in IRONCAD
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.
