Sawmill machine designed in IRONCAD by Höga Kusten Teknikresurs AB
IRONCAD an intuitive and flexible 3D CAD program (with support for 2D drawings) that lets you design mechanical products in a natural and fast way—using drag-and-drop, push/pull tools, and TriBall instead of complicated constraints.
It’s one of the easiest CAD programs to get started with—you’ll learn quickly and can focus on design instead of complicated tools.
"I've been using IRONCAD about a month now, and I'm already three times faster than I was in SolidWorks, which I've been using 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."
Jim Norman
Design Engineer, Tidaholm Industries
Traditional parametric systems can feel rigid, with mandatory constraints and a history that requires extensive planning. IRONCAD you the freedom to work smarter. Instead, mix and match methods freely, just like in IRONCAD.
MOST POPULAR
The method in IRONCAD is the fastest and most productive for most needs. It handles design concepts and unexpected changes well.
This method in IRONCAD best IRONCAD for creating models that are to be dimensionally variant-managed in a predetermined manner.
The method in IRONCAD to modify imported geometry. Select a surface and drag, rotate, or move it—regardless of the history.
IRONCAD developed since the late 1990s with a strong focus on user-friendliness and innovation. We at Solidmakarna are proud to have been its distributor in Sweden all these years. The latest version continues this tradition by emphasizing increased automation of 2D drawings with features that integrate seamlessly with Attachment Points in the 3D scene.
SolidWorks, part of Dassault Systèmes since 1997, is a parametric system with strong integration into the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, but it often requires additional training and does not handle imported geometry as smoothly as IRONCAD’s dual solid kernels. We recommend IRONCAD companies that want to reduce the risk of getting stuck with heavily history-dependent models, which in SolidWorks can lead to time-consuming redesigns.
In SolidWorks, features are built sequentially using constraints and parameters, which can result in "overconstrained" models. IRONCAD this on its head with flexible modeling as the default. Use parameters when needed, not as a requirement.
IRONCAD's all-in-one package: sheet metal fabrication, built-in rendering, and mechanical
components via IC Mechanical all at no extra cost.
Combine intelligent models with flexibility in a completely unique way.
Traditional method that uses constraints and mating conditions.
Modify imported geometry. Select a surface and drag, angle, or move it.
Drag & drop features, parts, and assemblies directly into the 3D environment
Design directly in the assembly in a single file. External links if necessary.
Positioning tools. Move, rotate, copy, and link objects in the 3D scene.
Permanent license that you own.
Avoid expensive rental solutions.
According to Swedish standards, can also be saved as DWG/DXF/PDF.
To create new or edit existing 2D DWG/DXF drawings.
Create bent sheets in 3D. Unfold the sheet and export to DXF for laser cutting.
Screws, nuts, washers, threads, steel beams, and much more.
User-friendly module for creating pipes, flanges, connections, and valves.
Create realistic images using the integrated rendering module.
Create realistic animations via integrated module for movies.
Create advanced double-curved surfaces using 3D curves.
Import/Export a variety of file formats.
Import point cloud data from 3D scanning
