Answer: In the Download Center you can download full versions and updates of the programs IRONCAD, IC Mechanical, Rhinoceros and KeyShot. For IRONCAD and IC Mechanical , both Swedish (Metric Swedish Customization) and English Metric Customization are available, making it easy to work both locally and internationally. You will also find installation manuals, news about new versions, sample projects and other documentation to help you get started quickly. Each file is carefully checked and verified to ensure correct functionality. The Download Center is designed to provide you with all the resources needed for a smooth installation, whether you are a new user or an experienced CAD designer.
Answer: DDM is listed in the Download Center but requires you to contact us directly to receive download links and installation files. We will send you all the necessary information, including configuration instructions, to ensure that the installation is correct and that the program works properly. Our support team can also advise on best practices for integration with IRONCAD and other systems, as well as answer questions about user management, data management and compatibility.
Answer: Yes, almost all programs (except DDM and Rhinoceros) come with installation manuals that include detailed step-by-step instructions, system requirements, tips for optimal installation, and recommended workflows. The manuals also describe how to handle common errors and how to best configure the programs for different project needs. For more in-depth guides and practical examples, please refer to our support blog, where you will find tutorials, tips and solutions for IRONCAD, IC Mechanical and KeyShot.
Answer: All files in the Download Center are continuously updated. For each program, you will see information about the latest version, changes and news. By always downloading the latest updates, you will benefit from improved stability, new features and a safer working environment. We recommend to always check the version information before installation, especially if you are updating from older versions, to ensure that all functions work correctly and compatibility with previous projects is maintained.
Answer: Yes, for IRONCAD and IC Mechanical both Swedish Metric Customization and English Metric Customization are available, making it easy to work internationally or with projects that require specific dimensional standards. Rhinoceros and KeyShot are delivered in their complete standard versions. Choosing the right language and customization will improve your work experience and minimize the risk of mistakes in modeling and design.
Answer: No, you do not need to be a registered customer or log in to download files. The Download Center is open to anyone who wants to try out the programs, view documentation, manuals and sample projects. All files can be downloaded directly without logging in, making it easy to get started quickly with testing and installation.
Answer: Downloading works on Windows and Mac computers, depending on the program. Larger installation files should be downloaded on a computer with a stable internet connection to avoid interruptions. Smaller files, such as manuals and documentation, can also be downloaded on mobile devices, but the actual installation of the programs is recommended on a computer that meets the system requirements.
Answer: If problems arise during download or installation, please contact our support team at solidmakarna.support. We offer step-by-step help and recommendations to ensure proper installation, troubleshooting and configuration of the programs. Our support can also provide advice on best practices, workflow optimization, and solutions to common questions that arise during the testing period.
Answer: Each program has specific operating system and hardware requirements. IRONCAD, IC Mechanical, Rhinoceros and KeyShot require a modern computer with sufficient processor speed, RAM and graphics capacity for 3D visualization. In the Download Center you will find recommended system requirements as well as tips on settings to optimize performance, security and stability, allowing you to work efficiently even with large and complex models.
Answer: No, you do not need a license to download the programs. When you download, you get a demo period: IRONCAD + IC Mechanical has 30 days, Rhinoceros 90 days and KeyShot 15 days. During this period, you can fully test the programs, explore features and evaluate workflows before possibly purchasing a full license. The demo period gives you the opportunity to try out all the features, experiment with different projects and ensure that the programs fit your needs.
Answer: Yes, all files are checked and verified by us. They are free of viruses and malware, and you can download them safely. We always recommend that you follow the installation instructions and use anti-virus software as an extra security measure during installation, ensuring a safe and trouble-free experience. This process guarantees that both the installation and the trial period will work without risk of system disruption or data loss.
Answer: During the demo period, it is important to test all features relevant to your workflow. We highly recommend following our free IRONCAD training material, where we go through how to create a Sterling engine from scratch, how to create manufacturing drawings and much more. You can find the material here: Solidmakarna - IRONCAD training courses.
For Rhinoceros you can test different modeling tools and renderings, while KeyShot can be used to create realistic renderings of your CAD models. We recommend combining hands-on test projects with tips and instructions from the support blog to get maximum benefit during the demo period. Plan small test projects that cover the features you will use most, so you can evaluate the programs in a realistic working environment.
Answer: Common problems can sometimes occur during installation, such as incomplete downloads or problems with system requirements. To avoid these, you should always verify file size after downloading, close other programs during installation and make sure your computer meets recommended system requirements. If problems still occur, you can check the FAQ and troubleshooting in the manual or contact our support via solidmakarna.support. Support can help with step-by-step instructions, recommendations for installation, configuration and tips for optimal workflow.
Answer: The Swedish versions are Metric Swedish Adaptation, which means that all dimensions and default settings are optimized for Swedish design standards. The English version uses English metric alignment, which is often used on international projects. The differences mainly affect standardized dimensions, units and some workflow settings. The functionality is otherwise the same. We recommend that you choose the version that suits your project needs and the way your team works. If you work in an international team, the English version can facilitate collaboration and file exchange between different countries.
Answer: Yes, an optimal workflow starts with correctly installing the programs according to the installation manuals, verifying system requirements and choosing the right language version. To learn IRONCAD and IC Mechanical in the best possible way, we recommend following our free basic courses and tutorialswhere you will be taken step-by-step through the program's features and workflows. Rhinoceros can optimize workflow with storage strategies and rendering settings, while KeyShot can prepare CAD models for realistic rendering. Documenting the workflow during the demo period will help you implement it in live mode after the license is purchased.
