IronCAD is a professional CAD program for parametric 2D and 3D design. The program conveniently combines direct modelling in a 3D environment with design based on history of operations. IronCAD will work just as well for drawings and delivery of models ready for production.

IronCAD offers relatively simple and very effective solutions for the design and reuse of delivered components. One of its advantages is the possibility of working with two graphic engines - ACIS (Dassault Systems) and Parasolid (Siemens). This allows for precise conversion of models from other 3D CAD systems and export to many formats, including native SAT and X_T as well as IGS, Catia and STEP.

The combination of motors also allows you to generate models that you probably cannot create with just one of the motors. Switching between motors is possible during program operation. The program has implemented a system of directories that allow you to store any proxy, assembly, part, operation or function in a hierarchical structure.

Catalogues can be shared with other team members, set permissions and search. Importantly, elements imported from catalogues have an immediate spatial orientation appropriate for the project and may have limitations needed for the design of mobile structures. In this type of design, you can also use motion analysis of the elements, including defined bonds, as well as a collision detection and backlighting system for contact areas.

The program also includes a module for designing pipelines and heat substations. All element libraries have defined points of attraction, so that constructions fit together perfectly and automatically recognize the diameters of adjacent parts. In addition, the program initially detects collisions.

On the basis of the model, you can immediately prepare 2D documentation, automatically number parts and generate a summary of the required elements for the cost estimate. IronCAD also allows you to use two modules to design frame structures. The first works similarly to those found in Solidworks or Inventor - you need to design a 3D path or 2D sketch and place the appropriate profile in it.

The second consists of dragging and dropping elements. The wizard has a built-in library of standardized profiles, which are automatically matched. Direct editing can also be used for modeling, as the design process is not rigidly linked to the history of the operations entered.

IronCAD is, of course, equipped with a system of calculation of sheet metal development with dedicated operations of bending, embossing, drilling and the like. The program can automatically recalculate bends and mark lines. The project with this information can be saved immediately in DXF or DWG formations and sent for cutting.

The finished project can also be visualized in three dimensions for marketing purposes. IronCAD can integrate with external renderers, such as KeyShot. As a result, iRonCAD is also used in the field of spatial advertising in letter and signboard design.
