A Very Different Design Tool – Parametric Design Meets Efficiency. Ship building, aerospace, automotive, general manufacturing are all market segments that benefit from IronCAD.

IronCAD:

User Interface (UI): IronCAD is designed to be more intuitive for users who are new to 3D CAD. Its unique drag-and-drop functionality allows for fast component placement and manipulation. This makes it particularly appealing for users who prefer an easy, visual method of working with 3D models.

Valuable Benefits:

Learning Curve: IronCAD tends to have a more shallow learning curve compared to SolidWorks, thanks to its simpler interface and fewer required steps for basic operations. Users can start building parts and assemblies quickly without needing extensive training.
Design Flexibility: IronCAD emphasizes direct modeling and ease of modification, which allows users to quickly adapt and change designs. It supports parametric modeling but integrates a more flexible approach, making it easier for users to change models without breaking constraints.
Design Approach: IronCAD combines parametric and direct modeling, offering flexibility in how designs are created and modified. This approach is particularly useful for users who need to work on conceptual designs and prototypes quickly.
Assembly Management: IronCAD offers an intuitive assembly management system that allows users to easily drag and drop components into place. It also provides advanced visualization tools to simulate motion and interactions between parts.
Compatibility & Integration: IronCAD supports a wide range of file formats and integrates well with other CAD systems, which makes it adaptable in mixed software environments.
Visualization & Rendering: IronCAD offers solid rendering capabilities, with both real-time visualization and higher-quality photorealistic rendering available. The software’s visual style makes it easy for designers and clients to understand concepts quickly.

Ship building components can be instantly accessible from its internal catalogs. This allows for streamlined design, rapid and powerful modeling and editing capability.

IronCAD uses its extensive part catalogs to increase ease and speed of modeling, in addition to providing utilities difficult to achieve with alternative design solutions.

IronCAD is a great 3D modeling solution for ship building. With ATI’s “Direct Connect”,

IronCAD is a very powerful tool during ship refurbishing, re-design, reverse engineering or retrofits.

Additionally, retrofits use ATI’s Direct Connect and IronCAD together to facilitate analysis and repairs.

ATI’s Direct Connect product allows IronCAD to use Direct Connect to install, move, simulate, or verify locations of items requiring accurate positioning and verification.

ATI trackers are the most accurate measuring tool available globally and can assist with positioning of required assets within the ship design.
