The Challenge

When communicating with customers, 2D files such as DWG and DXF, as well as 3D files in formats such as STEP, X_T, SLDPRT, and SLDASM, are often sent. For collaboration to run smoothly, a CAD system is needed that is interoperable and flexible—one that can import files from other programs and export manufacturing files and cost estimates.

Why IRONCAD

IRONCAD is highly skilled at importing and exporting various CAD formats. Länna Svets is a long-standing customer of Solidmakarna and uses IRONCAD for product development and sheet metal bending. Using the flexible sheet metal table, the company is building its own library of sheet metal parts, ready to be processed with the progressive sheet metal bending tools.

How Länna Svets Operates Today

  • 3D Design of In-House and Customer Products
  • Manufacturing files and files for calculating part dimensions are generated directly from the model
  • Customer files from other CAD programs are imported and managed directly
  • Sheet metal parts are bent and spread out using our own sheet metal table

The result

IRONCAD It is used for everything in manufacturing, and after about 20 years, the workflow is well established. When questions arise, Solidmakarnas support is available to provide a quick response.

We use IRONCAD for all aspects of manufacturing in our workshop. We design, create manufacturing files, and generate files for calculating part costs. We also receive files from customers, which IRONCAD handles very well, even if they were created in other software. We’ve been using IRONCAD for about 20 years now, and if we have any questions, we can always contact Solidmakarnas support . They always provide a quick response and excellent assistance.
