System requirements
IronCAD is a design software package made for Microsoft Windows. As of IronCAD version 2018, only 64-bit versions of Windows are supported. Further down this page you will find a table showing which Windows versions are compatible.
Required specifications
To run IronCAD, a PC should meet at least the following specifications:
- 64-Bit Windows operating system
- Pentium 4 CPU or higher (current AMD processors supported)
- 4 GB Memory (8 GB or more for large assembly drawings)
- Direct X and/or OpenGL compatible accelerated video card
- 2 GB free disk space for installation
Note that these are the minimum requirements to run IronCAD. Better specifications are required for better performance.
Recommendation PC
In cooperation with CADCO, we have selected a number of systems that fit the needs of almost every user. You can view the models below on CADCO’s IronCAD page.
iDraw Pro
This workstation is suitable for the IronCAD user who primarily does a lot of drawing. Our recommended configuration features an AMD Ryzen 7 or Intel Core i7, 32GB of working memory and an RTX A2000 graphics card. The configuration can be easily configured on the website.
iDraw Pro Mini
Just as powerful as the iDraw Pro, but in a smaller package. An ideal workstation for your desk.
iVisualize+
This workstation is put together for users of IronCAD and KeyShot. The system features Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and powerful GeForce RTX graphics card so rendering with KeyShot is spool and fast.
