WORKING METHODS

Three methods - one system

IRONCAD the most versatile CAD system. Use the method that suits you best. Mix freely!

3D box in vector format with a red X

Parametric modeling

Best suited for models that need to be handled in a predetermined way in terms of dimensional variations. Uses constraints and assembly conditions. Powerful when appropriate.

MOST POPULAR

3D box in vector format with a green check mark

Flexible modeling

The fastest and most productive method. Combines intelligent models with flexibility in a unique way that no other 3D CAD system can offer. Total freedom and precision at the same time.

Direct editing

Modify imported geometry directly. Select a surface and drag, rotate, or move it—regardless of history. Entire assemblies can be imported and customized directly.

FEATURES

Everything you need in one system

Flexible modeling

Combine intelligent models with flexibility in a completely unique way.

Parametric modeling

Traditional method that uses constraints and mating conditions.

Direct editing

Modify imported geometry. Select a surface and drag, angle, or move it.

Catalog system

Drag & drop features, parts, and assemblies directly into the 3D environment

File management

Design directly in the assembly in a single file. External links if necessary.

TriBall

Positioning tools. Move, rotate, copy, and link objects in the 3D scene.

Permanent license

Permanent license that you own.
Avoid expensive rental solutions.

Associative 2D drawings

According to Swedish standards, can also be saved as DWG/DXF/PDF.

Integrated separate 2D

To create new or edit existing 2D DWG/DXF drawings.

Sheet metal bending and unfolding

Create bent sheets in 3D. Unfold the sheet and export to DXF for laser cutting.

3D Standard Components

Screws, nuts, washers, threads, steel beams, and much more.

Piping

User-friendly module for creating pipes, flanges, connections, and valves.

Rendering

Create realistic images using the integrated rendering module.

Animation

Create realistic animations via integrated module for movies.

Surface modeling

Create advanced double-curved surfaces using 3D curves.

Import/Export

Import/Export a variety of file formats.

Point cloud

Import point cloud data from 3D scanning

Viewer via the cloud

Show your 3D CAD models to your customers via your web browser.

We also offer expert training and outstanding support of our different softwares.

"I have now been using IRONCAD for about 1 month and I am already 3 times faster than in SWX which I have used for over 10 years! I select what I want to move or change, and the rest of the design remains stable without the usual errors you get in other systems. I almost don't want to tell you about this - because IRONCAD has given us a real competitive advantage after the change of programs! "

- Jim Norman

You recognize the problems: you want to focus on your idea and construct. But the program forces you to use Constraints and Mate conditions that just mess things up and make you lose focus.

  • Constraints that conflict with other constraints

  • Replace one Part and the whole Assembly collapses

  • Add a radius and Parts will lose their reference

  • Warnings and mysterious Rebuild Error messages

  • Endless lists with Mate Error

  • Each part and compilation MUST be saved as a separate file

Did you know that it doesn't have to be this way?
Isn't it better to use Constraints only when necessary?
- The solution to your frustration is IRONCAD!

Man who is tired of errors in Solidworks

Congratulations! You have now found the way out of the misery and can avoid these by using IRONCAD. Design flexibly and make late unforeseen changes quickly in IRONCAD. By flexible we mean:

  • Sketches are created and modified smartly and easily without constraints

  • Parts are built with intelligent features in the history tree

  • Parts are freely positioned and handled with Triball without Mate

  • Supporting concepts, free changes and customizations

  • Focus on constructing in a single file, stay focused

  • Save Parts and Assemblies to your own files whenever you want

  • Use traditional parametric design only when it suits you
