Powerful import filter

This powerful import files for IronCAD DCS increases your potential for collaboration between the most common CAD platforms. An Imported file can be modified directly without the need for history. IronCAD DCS works with BOTH ACIS and Parasolid solid kernel for best results when importing and modifying. COMPOSE and Configurator use the same powerful import filters but with a few differences.

Most IRONCAD users create products related to mechanical engineering or product development. But there are also users who have discovered the benefits of IRONCAD's flexibility and speed in interior design and house construction. Therefore, there is a need to communicate between IRONCAD and programs that can handle the IFC format. IFC can be said to be STEP in the construction sector, a neutral format for 3D models that many programs in construction can handle.

IRONCAD has also previously had support for importing IFC through TRANSLATOR, but now there is also an export option to the IFC format.In construction and architecture, a program called Revit is sometimes used. Now with the new Architectual Translator there are opportunities to both open 3D files from and save files to the Revit format. It facilitates, for example, placing 3D models created in IRONCAD in houses with Revit.

Architectual Translator is installed with Service Pack 1 for IronCAD DCS 2024. It uses its own license file. Please contact Solidmakarna for current price.

IXP4D 3D PDF Designer

Create interactive 3D PDF documents

The 3D PFD Designer allows you to quickly create parts lists or instructions directly from IRONCAD . These can all be opened, rotated in 3D and clearly see the different parts included in the (free) program Adobe Reader. The user can simply click on a Part in the parts list, the selected part is highlighted while all other parts are hidden or become transparent, all to make it clear what is what.

All characteristics such as item number, description, material, weight, quantity as well as e.g. supplier, price, finish, colour can be displayed. This is a visual and clear way of documentation to easily find the right spare part. Also assembly instructions are solved gallantly. IXP4D 3D PDF Designer is an add-on to IRONCAD from the Italian IronCAD Gold Partner Fronema S.R.L.

How IronCAD DCS works with KeyShot

keyshot ironcad

Step 1: Transfer to KeyShot

Once your model is constructed and ready for rendering, you can send your model via the Add-Ins toolbar in IronCAD DCS to KeyShot.

keyshot stand-alone

Step 2: The model is opened in KeyShot

KeyShot will now start and your model is ready to be rendered. If you want to make any changes to your model, just switch back to IronCAD DCS and press Update to KeyShot.

sitski ironcad

Step 3: Colour your model

Drag-and-drop any of the 700+ preset materials onto your model. The real-time view now instantly shows how the applied material reflects the scene's light and the material's properties.

keyshot ironcad  sitski

Step 4: Light and background

Choose a surrounding environment (HDRI). As soon as you drag and drop the lighting environment to your scene, you will notice the effect of the real lighting and how it captures the colours and finishes of your models.

Step 5: See the amazing result

The image is now rendered in front of your eyes. From start to finish, a simple 5-step process to create incredible images quickly and easily, all in real time.

Model: SitSki developed by Länna Svets & Mekaniska AB in IRONCAD for Vatten o Snöprodukter AB
Rendering: Solidmakarna AB
