My previous trained and professional experience had been CATIA V4 and V5. Ideas, SolidWorks and NX, and was able to pick up on the methodology very quickly. It is intuitive and fairly straight forward. A wide variety of import and export options come standard. It opens large assemblies quick and efficiently. The ability to manipulate imported (non-native) geometry is really great and time-saving. I love the ability to drag and drop basic and advanced geometry into the design. > > **Cons**: Occasionally It will crash and close down but most of the time when I asked it to do something extraordinarily difficult. Rarely for no reason, but it does occasionally. I wish I could create Datum Planes to use for section cutting and mirroring geometry. I know I can achieve without them, but to me, it would be more intuitive. > > For my needs, I was looking for a simple tool to import geometry to provide design assessment and to review assemblies for functional GD\&T proposals. I didn't need a drawing (2D) capability at the time. So this tool has exceeded my expectations. It has allowed me to provide alternative concepts on designs I'm reviewing. I'm so happy I made this choice and may be looking to upgrade to try more advanced capabilities. ----- ### "unparalleled ease of use for concept generation" — 4.0/5 > **richard** | *16 July 2020* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to make models without a feature history or parent-child relationships makes it's very easy for concept generation and development without the need to completely remodel once a design has been established. the tribal makes locating imported models and other component unbelievably easy compared to industry leading software > > **Cons**: Database design and look feels dated and the rendering I find it difficult to use.The drafting element is not its strongest point but it is sufficient > > Ironcad allows me to take on jobs with much less time available than I previously have done because it's productivity is unrivalled. ----- ### "user since Trispectives 1.0" — 3.0/5 > **Pete** | *16 July 2020* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Triball and the fact that it's an innovative, non-history based modeller that supports both ACIS and parasolid kernels. The drag-and-drop standard as well as customizable catalogs. > > **Cons**: Caxa draft, buggy UI and features that often are not fully developed. The time it takes to reset preferences after updates. > > Allowed us to move directly to 3D modelling very early onand negate the need for drawings during product development. ----- ### "The only CAD I'll ever use" — 5.0/5 > **Eric** | *11 August 2020* | Sporting Goods | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use, tech support, functionality. > > **Cons**: There's nothing I dislike about IronCAD Innovate. > > I purchased IronCAD Innovate as a package with my Tormach PCNC1100 CNC Mill 7-yrs ago. Prior to this, I was given a copy of Solid Works to try and was completely lost as to where to start. So technically, my first experience with creating a CAD model was with IronCAD. Innovate has allowed me to do everything I could imagine for rendering designs to do CNC work as well as making a newly patented product. In the 7-yrs of use, I saw online CNC bloggers advertise other CAD software, some of which are free, and the most popular one being we based. I looked at them out of curiosity and did not think they compared to versatility of solid modeling and none of them had the Tri-Ball. I was also working on a product that was patent pending so trusting them with my designs was not an option. The other great thing about IronCAD is the tech support. As a self taught machinist and inventor, putting thoughts to paper was easy but my experience with CAD got me stumped a few times. I could always rely on \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] to patiently walk me through things I just couldn't figure out on my own. I'm still a one-man shop and am too busy to even consider what else is out there. As far as I'm concerned, IronCAD is the only CAD software that will be installed on my computers. Both the tech support and software have never failed me so IronCAD is stuck with me as customer. ----- ### "Easy to use need some social aspects" — 4.0/5 > **Jos** | *16 July 2020* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: With IronCad you can create quick and easy your design. The Tribal is een important tool to work with. Also the connection between 3d and drawings works very well > > **Cons**: Making a video like walking in a room or showroom. Also the integration with VR is very important. The rendering tool is not easy in use. I don't like keyshot. It is still a lot of work to make a hr rendering. Import from files from other brands gives often problems. Sketch up grows very fast. I don't want to change. IronCad please do your best. > > Design showrooms, booth, furniture, displays ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2050818/ironcad?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2050818/ironcad) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
