Translator

The fastest way to exchange CAD data

Do you receive CAD files from customers, suppliers or partners working with another CAD package? The IronCAD Translator lets you open native CAD files directly in IronCAD, without time-consuming conversions or rebuilding models.

So you work seamlessly with organizations using SolidWorks, Inventor, NX, Creo, Solid Edge, CATIA and other commonly used CAD formats.

IronCAD Translator overview

Collaboration without CAD restrictions

In practice, companies rarely work with just one CAD system. Customers, suppliers and partners often use different software packages, which can make exchanging designs challenging.

Translator extends IronCAD with expanded import and export capabilities for commonly used CAD formats. This allows you to review external designs faster, reuse them and incorporate them within your own projects.
