IRONCAD is the most versatile CAD system. Use the method that best suits your needs. Mix and match freely!
This method is best suited for creating models that are intended to be modified in a predetermined manner. It uses constraints and mating conditions that limit how the design can be modified. It can be challenging when dealing with concepts and unforeseen changes. It is powerful when it fits the situation. It requires careful planning of how the model is structured and how it should be able to be modified in the future.
MOST POPULAR
The fastest and most productive method for most needs. Supports concepts and unforeseen changes well. Quickly and intuitively create parts with a complete history tree and intelligent features that can be freely modified. Here, intelligent models are combined with flexibility in a completely unique way that no other 3D CAD system can offer. Complete freedom and precision at the same time.
The method used to modify mainly imported geometry. Select a surface and drag, angle, or move it—regardless of history. Change or move holes. No features are needed in the history tree, but IRONCAD can, of course, convert shapes into features. Entire assemblies (e.g., from STEP) can be imported into a single file and customized directly!
IRONCAD offers a wide range of powerful features. Below is a selection of these:
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.

TriBall is a great tool with many features in IRONCAD and is used to move, copy or modify anything in 3D. With full freedom, lightning fast and still with full precision. Replaces the need for Planes. Pull a handle and snap to other parts, even in other assemblies, to make precise changes in seconds.
IRONCAD has a catalog system that makes work faster than you thought possible. You can drag & drop, for example, a positive or negative extrusion or loft shape that you can quickly use to create new parts or build on existing ones. This applies to all types of features, parts and assemblies. Of course, everything you create in 3D can be dragged out and saved in your own unique catalogs for reuse with the fast drag and drop technology.
IRONCAD you maximum freedom in design without forcing you to use constraints. You work quickly and intuitively – with complete flexibility. When needed, you can easily control features, parts, and assemblies with locks and parametric dimensions. You get both creative freedom and precise control – on your terms. Watch the video in your preferred language using the buttons below.
In IRONCAD, you can easily create 3D models from a 2D sketch. By drawing in a plane, you can quickly build cross-sections that can be extruded, rotated, lofted, or swept into finished 3D shapes. The sketch in IRONCAD does not need constraints to give you full control and precision.
You can choose between importing finished 3D shapes from catalogs that have already been created from 2D profiles or creating new ones via 2D sketch.
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 change size automatically depending on where you place them. Dimensions of entire assemblies are adjusted in a flash by pulling handles - done!
With IRONCAD you use parametric design when it suits and free design in the normal case. You can choose freely between both methods and can also use several methods within the same part. Complete and customized solutions can be created easily and quickly!
File management in IRONCAD is a real time saver. Design directly in the assembly in a single file, regardless of whether the design consists of 1 or 10,000 parts. Link parts to external files only if and when you want to. You can focus on design instead of administration. You don't have to create a part in a separate file and guess whether it will fit in the assembly. You can create sub-assemblies with a click of the mouse in the 3D scene. Genuine "Top-Down design"! Of course, you can also link existing files "Bottom-Up".
With IRONCAD's Sheet Metal features, you create bent sheets in 3D. Easy-to-use tools create features that can be changed with handles or in clear menus. Quickly close corners or manage settings on a single bend. Change material or thickness with a mouse click. Then unfold the part and export to DXF for laser cutting - faster and easier than ever!
Once you have created your design in 3D, you can depict it on a 2D drawing in IRONCAD. If it is an assembly, a BOM list with all its parts is automatically created. You can easily measure a part according to ISO standards, including tolerances and to create a complete manufacturing basis. If the 3D model changes, the 2D drawing is automatically updated. The drawing is always saved as a PDF and can be exported to DWG/DXF.
IRONCAD has two parallel 2D solutions and as a user you can choose which one you prefer. Both can show and dimension 3D models created in IRONCAD. Many people use the ICD module because it is so fast and easy to use.
DRAFT has a more traditional 2D CAD interface and is similar to AutoCAD 2D. DRAFT also allows you to open, edit and save DWG/DXF drawings which is a great advantage - no separate program is needed for this. You can easily create new 2D drawings including e.g. hydraulic diagrams. Standard symbols are included.
IRONCAD unique in that it uses two different solid kernels: ACIS from Spatial and Parasolid from Siemens. You can switch between them as needed and always choose the kernel that works best.
The result is that you can create geometries that cannot be done with just one kernel, you have fewer problems and even better results when importing.
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 is meant by easy presentation, sales and collaboration. No installation of a separate 3D viewer or other software is needed to view the files. You can even show your products in 3D on your website like our example here.
