Machine building
CAD software for designing machinery and mechanical engineering
IronCAD is powerful 3D CAD software for machine builders who want to design machines quickly, flexibly and accurately. Whether individual parts, complex assemblies or complete production lines: IronCAD allows you to work more efficiently and implement changes easily.
Thanks to the combination of direct modeling and parametric design, IronCAD offers maximum design freedom without being locked into complex model structures. Since 2001, mechanical engineering companies worldwide have been using IronCAD to develop industrial machines and production systems.
Why IronCAD for mechanical engineering?
Machine building projects require flexibility. Customer specifications change frequently and designs often consist of hundreds of parts. IronCAD helps engineers design quickly and make changes easily.
Custom and serial work
IronCAD is suitable for both custom machines and serial product development. Modular designs allow existing models to be easily adapted for new variants.
Entire design process in one package
With IronCAD, you work on the entire design process from concept to production within a single CAD environment.
- 3D machine designs
- assemblies
- technical 2D drawings
- bills of materials (BOM)
Changes at any time
Machine designs often change during a project. IronCAD allows you to modify parts instantly without rebuilding the entire model structure.
Clear component libraries
IronCAD includes extensive catalogs of standard parts, such as bearings, bolts and mechanical components. By dragging these directly into a design, you can quickly build complete assemblies.
Quickly design with stretching
With the unique drag-and-drop workflow and TriBall tool, you can easily move, modify and duplicate parts. This allows you to work faster than in traditional CAD systems.
Flawless production process
2D drawings remain linked to the 3D model. When a design is modified, drawings are automatically updated. This prevents errors in production and documentation.
All-in-one CAD solution for mechanical engineering
IronCAD supports the entire design process from concept to production. Engineers design, generate documentation and create visualizations within a single software package, enabling machine builders to move more quickly from concept to a working machine.
- Faster engineering processes
- Fewer errors between design and production
- Better communication with customers and production departments
Mechanical
Mechanical is an extension to IronCAD with thousands of industry-standard parts, including fasteners, bearings, O-rings, pipes and flanges. Allows you to design faster and more consistently.
