IronCAD Compose
Free 3D CAD viewer and collaboration tool
IronCAD Compose is free CAD software for viewing, measuring, annotating and sharing 3D and 2D CAD files. The software is ideal for collaboration between engineering, manufacturing, sales and customers. Even users without CAD experience can actively participate in the design process.
IronCAD Compose lets you quickly open designs, check dimensions and provide feedback without the need for additional CAD licenses. This makes Compose a powerful solution for design review, production preparation and customer communication.
What is IronCAD Compose?
IronCAD Compose is a free 3D CAD viewer for Windows designed specifically for viewing and analyzing IronCAD files. It supports both 3D models and 2D drawings and provides comprehensive tools for checking and discussing designs.The intuitive 3D environment allows users to easily measure, check and position parts.
Compose can open the following file formats, among others
- IronCAD 3D files (*.ics)
- IronCAD 2D drawings (*.icd and *.exb)
- DWG and DXF 2D files
- Various 3D facet formats
Key features of IronCAD Compose
View and analyze 3D and 2D CAD files
View complex assemblies and technical drawings without a CAD license. Ideal for production, work preparation and sales.
Measurements, markings and feedback
Take accurate measurements, place markers and add comments to clearly capture and share feedback.
Assemble assemblies and show variants
Put together assemblies and show different configurations to better discuss design choices.

Collaboration in real time
IronCAD Compose is more than a standard CAD viewer. The software supports interactive collaboration, where teams and clients can view, discuss and review designs together.
Production staff can open models directly to check dimensions. Salespeople can present designs during conversations. Customers can provide feedback early in the process. This shortens the lead time to production and reduces the risk of errors.
IronCAD Compose Configurator (optional)
The optional IronCAD Compose Configurator extends functionality for sales and configuration.
During a sales call, you can put together complete designs based on modular components. Variants become immediately visible and a bill of materials (BOM) is automatically generated that you can share with engineering or production.
