System 3R creates layouts in 3D with IRONCAD

System 3R is a very well-known name in production automation solutions. The company offers several types of solutions, including robotic operation of CNC mills and lathes. This can be done by having a robot move along a track, ensuring that the machines can operate without interruption to the greatest extent possible, which can result in significant cost savings.

System 3R has been using IRONCAD for many years with great success to visualize how solutions can look like for different customers' unique needs. Components such as fences, robots and rails as well as imports of CNC machines - all are handled with the utmost precision in IRONCAD.

"IRONCAD is easy to use and learn and we have internally trained several automation experts across all continents (Europe, USA, Asia) in IRONCAD so that we can efficiently and quickly use IRONCAD to design 2D and 3D layouts when making budget quotes to our customers." Says Magnus Bobeck of System 3R.

PMH International AB, develops warehouses in 3D

PMH International in Ystad supplies several different types of solutions to Swedish industry, including metal-framed halls with fabric for walls and ceilings. By using this solution, companies can quickly gain additional space for different types of needs.

It is of course an advantage for PMH to have access to IRONCAD where they can quickly visualize and try out how the customer's needs can be solved with a certain surface. They can also create salesy, clear renderings of the solution. Metal frames are drawn in IRONCAD and can be modularly combined with Drag-o-Release into the 3D environment.

PMH also uses IRONCAD's 3D solution to show how cranes and other material handling equipment can be placed in customers' existing buildings. Win-Win.

Höga Kusten Teknikresurs AB, develops world-class wood processing equipment

Höga Kusten Teknikresurs AB (HKTR) is a fast-growing company that offers a variety of services, including construction and product development. One area is in the wood processing industry, where HKTR has a very solid experience and can offer construction of really large and extensive projects.

In many cases, various 2D drawings are available to show the existing environment. These can be used in IRONCAD's 3D CAD environment as a reference or basis for creating 3D parts.

The adjacent image shows handling equipment of sawn timber to be moved to edger mills and moved via chain conveyors, among others. The 3D model consists of several hundred thousand parts. Many machines have been simplified in IRONCAD with a so-called shrinkwrap command. The user can easily choose the degree to which details are displayed in different layouts.

Layout in 3D CAD requires flexibility

Many 3D CAD solutions work withconstraints. These are required to prevent details from "flying around". The number of constraints in a layout can quickly reach 100,000! This is not the case in IRONCAD. Here, parts and assemblies remain stable exactly where you want them. But it is also possible to move anything, anyhow, quickly and freely with full precision. This is perfect for layout.

With many parts and assemblys, the performance of the CAD system is naturally very demanding. The most common tasks, such as opening, saving and importing large, heavy 3D models in *.STEP or *.X_T format, as well as creating views in 2D drawings, are all well-known "speed bumps" for most 3D CAD systems. IRONCAD developers have focused for many years on performance improvements for handling really large assemblies and are now one of the leading 3D CAD systems in this area.

You can also start from a 2D DWG/DXF drawing and use it as the basis for the room in IRONCAD's 3D environment. Add your own created machines or imported ones from suppliers. Easily optimize entire production lines in 3D! If desired, depict on 2D drawing. Create sales renderings if you wish. IRONCAD is unbeatable for layout, automation and production.
