Pros

“I would really like the same attention for creating electrical designs - wiring drawings in the mechanical design, single-line diagrams, wiring length 2D drawings and wiring size calculations.”

David T.

Managing Director

“The game changer for me is that working in the cloud mitigates so many issues we had with hardware computers - security, data backup systems, collaboration, and system updates.”

David T.

Managing Director

“Its cloud-based platform is a major advantage, providing convenient access across a wide range of devices, while the quality of customer support further enhances the experience.”

Zach A.

CDO

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

“Edge selection is also challenging sometimes as it prioritizes face selection rather than edge selection, making me zoom in and orient parts several times to select the edge.”

Ben K.

Senior Industrial Designer - Owner

“There are a lot of things missing such as mate option (in S.W. you can mate axis ) and threads , also the import option for surfaces is not good”

Yarin M.

Mechanical engineer

“The Standard Plan does not include Company managed data and release management to fundamental things for everybody using CAD seriously, although they are lonesome riders!-)”

Jörg K.

Freelancer

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.”
