IronCAD overview

What is IronCAD?

IRONCAD is a computer-aided design (CAD) software that helps engineers create 2D and 3D mechanical models using visualization, drawing and animation tools. It offers various modules including INOVATE, DRAFT, and COMPOSE.

IRONCAD INOVATE facilitates collaboration by allowing users to create, edit and share designs in 3D. It lets professionals visualize concepts in a drag and drop 3D environment and export designs in various formats including ACIS, PARASOLID and STEP. IRONCAD COMPOSE allows teams to modify models and assemblies, add comments on designs and apply animation in real-time. Other features include parts library, 2D detailing, real-time modular design, collaboration, and more.

Pros

“I really enjoyed the functionality based on the Dual Kernel design technology in IronCAD, which allows users to create 3D models using parametric modeling techniques.”

Souleymane D.

Training assistant

“Import of a lot of different file types with the possibility of modification is great and does not that often exist in competing tools.”

Piotr P.

QA Automation Engineer

“They seem to forget that there are many more small designers and engineers then there are large firms and we can't throw $10K or more at software anytime we need to.”

Rob H.

Designer / Owner

Cons

“I only used it for a few months for a construction project, and it ultimately didn't help me much.”

Souleymane D.

Training assistant

“I can't afford the price that CAD developers get away with in their pricing.”

Rob H.

Designer / Owner

“A lot of the learning I did by myself and I watched videos on Youtube, but the actual software didn't do a great job of teaching me how to use it.”
