Machine building

Design machines as you build them

Work from one central 3D model where design, engineering and production come together.
From initial concept to working installation, clear and adaptable.

Working more efficiently in mechanical engineering

Are you developing machines or production lines? Then you have to deal with many parts, modifications and dependencies.

With IronCAD, you design directly in 3D and build assemblies as they are actually assembled. Parts, relationships and documentation remain linked, allowing changes to affect the entire model immediately.

Direct 3D designs

Without complex dependencies

Building assemblies logically

Working as in practice

Making changes quickly

Adjust without remodeling

Understanding construction

Always an overview of parts and assemblies

Prepared for production

Drawings, bills of materials and output readily available

Flexible during the engineering process

During machine building projects, designs change regularly. New requirements, technical insights or optimizations ensure that models are in constant flux.

With IronCAD, you customize parts and assemblies without getting bogged down in dependencies. You maintain control, even on complex projects.

From component to complete installation

You will design both single parts and complete machines within one environment.

Assemblies remain manageable and scalable, regardless of the size of the project. As a result, you work in a structured way and maintain an understanding of the total.

Directly from design to production

All output is automatically generated from the 3D model. No need to re-enter or manually update data.

Changes are immediately incorporated into all documentation.

Work faster with standard components

With Mechanical, you can easily add standard parts to your design. Think bearings, fasteners and mechanical components.

That way you build complete machines faster and work more consistently.
