You can watch our previous webinar from Thursday, October 28, 2024, where we go through the strengths of different ways of working in IRONCAD.
IRONCAD is an incredibly versatile 3D CAD system with several different ways to create 3D models.
You may already know that there are many different types of 3D models and working methods with their different advantages and disadvantages in IRONCAD? But which method or type of part should you really use and is there one that is less suitable sometimes? Most people who use IRONCAD usually start a new part by dragging out a block in the 3D scene and that goes a long way!
But if you are going to bend and unfold a metal platet, then you should use the Sheet Metal tools, while an imported geometry is best modified with so-called Direct Face modeling. Both with very flexible functions!
Turned and milled parts are produced unbeatably fast with the unique and flexible way of working for Innovative Part which can be found in IRONCAD. Also, do not forget concept models that show the not yet completed solution, but which over time are refined to exactly what it should look like. Here you want to avoid spending unnecessary time on sketches, locked rules, etc. that steal valuable time from a finished quotation basis to get an order! Flexibility is a requirement here.
But even completely locked parametric models with complicated rules can sometimes be the right way to go when you can safely predict all future changes that affect a part. Usually it is something you can spend time on at a later stage when the order is in place. Perhaps some models should be table controlled instead of the faster and freer reins in the form of handles that are usually used. Or maybe these should be combined, also unique to IRONCAD!
The presentation will be made by Jonas Bryntesson who works with IRONCAD training and technical support.
Here are some related pages with more information on different areas that we cover on our support blog.
The three different approaches are covered with various videos on our support blog.
All 9 different 3D elements available in IRONCAD are described in detail, also here with various videos and pictures, on our support blog.
If you are interested in learning more about Structured Part, we have developed a training material with 12 exercises on our support blog.
We also have material on working with layout and robots with mechanisms on our YouTube channel.
Answer: Here we publish tips, guides, news and solutions for those who work with IRONCAD and Design Data Manager (DDM). The blog covers everything from basic functions to advanced workflows, helping you to optimize your design work. You'll find examples of smart shortcuts, practical instructions, solutions to common problems, and best practices for product design, mechanical design, and product data management.
Answer: Our guides and tips are designed for both beginners and experienced CAD users. They are aimed at designers, engineers and project managers who want to work more efficiently with IRONCAD and DDM, improve the design process, reduce mistakes and save time in product development.
Answer: We regularly publish new articles when the software is updated, when new features are introduced, or when our users ask for solutions to specific problems. The blog is therefore a reliable source for keeping up to date and getting tips that make everyday CAD work easier.
Answer: Many of our instructions and tips work in multiple versions, but we clearly indicate if an article applies to a specific version. We strive to make the content useful for older versions as well, and also provide recommendations on how to adapt workflows to the version you are using.
Answer: Absolutely! If you can't find the solution in the blog, you can contact our technical support via solidmakarna.support. Our experts will help you with everything from installation and configuration to advanced features in IRONCAD and DDM, so you can solve problems quickly and efficiently.
Answer: Yes! We appreciate suggestions from our users. If you have questions, tips or want us to address a specific issue in IRONCAD or DDM , please contact us via our contact form and we will prioritize relevant topics in future posts.
Answer: The blog contains, among other things:
Practical step-by-step guides to help you use IRONCAD and DDM more effectively.
Productivity and workflow tips for faster design and construction.
Solutions to common problems encountered by users in CAD programs.
Updates and news on new features, versions and improvements.
Best practices for data management and project organization in DDM.
Answer: All tips and guides are directly applicable in daily work. For example, you can use shortcuts and smart features in IRONCAD to speed up modeling, structure files better in Design Data Manager, or follow our step-by-step solutions for specific problems that often come up in design projects.
Answer: We strive to ensure that all guides and tips are relevant to the latest versions of IRONCAD and DDM. We also clearly mark when a post applies to an older version, so you always know if the instruction is directly applicable to your system.
Answer: Yes! Many of our users share the articles with colleagues and use them as internal training materials. The blog is a great complement to formal training and helps teams learn features faster, avoid mistakes, and standardize workflows in IRONCAD and DDM.
