What is IRONCAD?

Flexible 3D CAD is better

Most 3D solutions on the market are optimized for documenting finished solutions. Drawing something that you already know how it should look. "Plan your design before you start, also think about how you want to change the model in the future" says the manual. As if you always knew what the end result would look like! This is exactly the opposite of how product development works in reality. This problem with traditional 3D CAD costs Swedish industry many millions every year.

Instead, designers want to test, change freely, get new ideas, meet customers' changing requirements and so on. IRONCAD revolutionizes 3D CAD by solving this need. This is how product development can be truly solved. Combine the freedom to change as you want but still have intelligent models with complete history. Flexibility combined with complete precision.

Cut tons of expensive time with IRONCAD and create better products by making the program work the way reality demands - adapt models freely without having to plan how.

Automation

Create complete robotic cells with IRONCAD - faster and easier than you think. Design new or use existing fixtures, grippers, fences, conveyors, electrical cabinets and robots in 3D using IRONCAD. Measure on 2D drawings when required. Let us describe how IRONCAD can help you streamline operations, reduce costs and increase productivity. The functions are included in IRONCAD and no additional module is needed.

Sheet metal bending

With IRONCAD's Sheet Metal features, you can create folded sheets in 3D and unfold them into a flat version. You can dimension both the folded and unfolded version of a 2D drawing and also export the unfolded version to DXF at the touch of a button for use in the laser cutter. Sheet Metal for 3D CAD has never been faster and easier!

Construction

With IRONCAD you can create different types of structures and equipment for the construction industry faster and easier. Whether you are designing a new solution or adapting an existing structure to your customer's needs, IRONCAD is the most suitable solution. You can save a lot of precious time with IRONCAD and design in a more free, efficient and flexible way.

Hydraulics

Design hydraulics solutions in 3D CAD with IRONCAD. Fast, easy and flexible. Import purchased components such as motors and pumps. Create your own solutions like valve blocks, hydraulic tanks and frames. Unbeatably easy to design hydraulics in 3D with IRONCAD. It does not require an extra module but uses functions included in IRONCAD. Why not let your company benefit from IRONCAD too ?

Layout

Using 3D CAD for layout makes it easier to optimise the use of premises. With IRONCAD you can quickly create layouts with 3D CAD and plan for production, for example. You can place and move all objects freely with full precision. Moreover, you can have 10,000s of parts in the same file. IRONCAD has powerful tools to simplify e.g. imported CNC machines. There is time and money to save for you!

Structural steel

Create beams and entire frames in 3D quickly and easily. Choose beams from an extensive standard range (e.g. from Tibnor or BE Group) or create your own dimensions. You can also solve other typical needs such as steel stairs, railings and general construction. Measured 2D drawings depicting the 3D models can of course be created easily.

Features

Features and tools that give you more freedom in 3D
Open Dropdown

TriBall

The TriBall is an amazing feature in IRONCAD. You can move, copy or modify anything in 3D. Freely, lightning fast and with full precision. Replaces the need for Plan. Drag & drop finished 3D shapes, parts or entire assemblies to/from catalogs. Or use a 2D sketch and extrude into 3D - choose what works best at any given moment. Pull handles and snap to other parts, even in other assemblies, to make precise changes in seconds.

Intelligent models for configurations

IRONCAD solves the need to create different variants of a product incredibly efficiently. Drag & drop smart parts from catalogs. These are attached together magnetically and also resize automatically depending on where you place them. Dimensions of entire assemblys are adjusted in a flash by pulling handles - done!

With IRONCAD you use Parametric Design when appropriate and Free Design in the normal case. You choose freely between both methods and switch in the same batch. Here, complete and customized solutions can be created easily and quickly!

Create and modify directly in the assembly

The file management in IRONCAD is a real time saver. You can design directly in the assembly in one and the same file, whether the design consists of 1 or 10,000 parts. Link parts to external files only if and when you want. You can focus on construction instead of administration. No more creating the part in a separate file and guessing if it fits in the assembly. You can create assemblies with a mouse click in the 3D scene. True "Top - Down design"! Of course, you can also link existing files "Bottom - Up". Here, many people think that IRONCAD works so much more smoothly than in traditional solutions such as SolidWorks, Creo and Inventor.

IRONCAD has BOTH Parasolid and ACIS solid cores

With IRONCAD you can create geometries that cannot be done with old technology where the CAD solution only uses a solid kernel, often ACIS or Parasolid. On the other hand, you can benefit from this when modeling details in IRONCAD as shown in the movie. The different solid cores have their limitations and advantages. You can specify which core should be the default. But you can also quickly change solid kernel with the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl+K" on a Part or entire compilation afterwards!

Another great advantage is when importing 3D files from different formats such as STEP. Imported geometry is created in the solid core you have chosen as default. Sometimes the conversion can be less good and then it is really great advantage to be able to import to the other solid core as an alternative.  

IC Mechanical - standard 3D components and lots of features

IC Mechanical is a Toolbox that solves your need for various standard components in 3D such as screws, nuts, washers, threads, steel beams, aluminum profiles, lock rings, o-rings, packing boxes, sprockets, boom joints, keyways and more. Also included are really smart features such as steel stairs, railings, piping, extended BOM tools, creating unique QR codes for 2D drawings, lightning fast 2D DWG/DXF export directly from 3D and more.

Solidmakarna are involved in the development of IC Mechanical and therefore many standard components follow the Swedish standard. We also bring in new requests quickly.

View your CAD models via IronCAD Web Viewer

IronCAD Web Viewer is a great tool for showing your 3D CAD models to others. Since it only requires a web browser, this tool is great for explaining what you mean, presentations, sales and collaboration. No installation of any viewer or software is needed to view the files. You can even show your products in 3D on your website like our example here.

Keeping your files and projects in order

With DDM you get a powerful tool to work more efficiently with CAD files but also other documents and file types. You can easily gather all the information about a product in one place. This allows everyone to know which version of a particular drawing is the latest, but also to quickly get answers to questions like "what did the machine we delivered in January 2015 look like?". A development project often contains a lot of data such as CAD files, Office documents, emails, images etc. which in DDM can be collected in a project folder. All files will then be accessible to all project members and easily managed by audit. Collaboration becomes easier and the project can be managed in a graphical workflow so that everyone knows what the status is, when it is finished etc.

MAC users? Important information before ordering

Apple uses its Metal graphics routine in newer MACs. Many programs do not work well with Metal (yet). Rhinoceros 7 may slow down as files get larger. Therefore, it is important to try Rhino 7 properly on your MAC before purchase if you are unsure.This will be resolved in future versions of Rhino. Download the Rhino 7 trial version here
