Drawing Software – 2D Drawings Directly from the 3D Model

A modern drafting program doesn’t start with the drawing—it starts with the model. In IRONCAD and Rhinoceros , you build the design in 3D and then generate views, sections, dimensions, and exploded views from it. If the model is changed, every view in the drawing is updated.

We have been working with CAD-based design solutions for over 30 years, with clients such as Atlas Copco and DeLaval, and understand the requirements of the manufacturing industry, R&D departments, and engineering consultants.

What is IRONCAD?

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.

What is a CAD drawing?

A CAD drawing is a digital representation of a product, building, or structure, created using computer-aided design. Instead of drawing by hand, designers create technical documentation, 2D drawings, and 3D models with high precision.

  • Develop production-ready drawings that include dimensions, tolerances, and surface finish
  • Automatically generate cross-sections, detailed views, and exploded views from the 3D model
  • Create bills of materials (BOMs) that update automatically when the design changes
  • Export DXF and DWG files for laser cutting, bending, and CAM
  • Continue working in existing DWG files without having to start over

Associative drawings – Change it once, update it everywhere

In an associative drafting program, the drawing is linked to the model. If you move a hole in the 3D model, it moves simultaneously in the plan view, section view, and detail view, and the dimensions update accordingly. In pure 2D programs, the same change must be made manually in each view. That’s where errors occur.

Why companies choose our drafting software

Solidmakarna helps companies in the manufacturing industry, the construction sector, and many other industries create precise CAD drawings in a more flexible and intuitive way, using market-leading software such as IRONCAD and Rhinoceros.

With market-leading tools such as IRONCAD (direct modeling and assemblies) and Rhinoceros (NURBS-based surface modeling), you can visualize, simulate, and create production-ready drawings without unnecessary back-and-forth between steps.

With a drawing program you can:

  • Draw a product or design directly on your computer.
  • See the model in 3D and understand how it will look and work in reality.
  • Quickly make changes and test different solutions.
  • Live editing: drag, rotate, and move surfaces freely—especially useful for imported geometry.
