A lot of the learning I did by myself and I watched videos on Youtube, but the actual software didn't do a great job of teaching me how to use it.Ĭomments: I bought IronCAD because I didn't realize that Dassault offered a perpetual license for SolidWorks. Additionally, the Help file feature isn't great either. There wasn't a user manual when I used this, which was a huge con for me. There aren't too many bugs with this application that I ran into, and besides the learning curve, it had a lot of features that were much more useful. IronCAD has a list of catalogs which was informative and quite simple to use. In my research field, I've had to try various different CAD softwares and I was impressed by this one. It's quite difficult sometimes to understand certain features, and you'll have to browse through some forum or watch a video because IronCAD doesn't do a good job of explaining much. IronCAD can import a lot of formats by default, but a few exotic ones are not included.Ĭomments: It is a feature-rich, useful tool once you learn it! I found it to suit my needs, but warning: If you don't like the lack of a user manual, then maybe you should try another product.
If you work alone like me, you rarely need that but occasionally I'll have a file I can't import and have to request an alternate format that I can.
If you share files with other more expensive software users, you may have to purchase additional importers. It doesn't come with all the CAD format importers you need. It has some fantastic tools that no other software has, one of them being what they call the "TriBall." It's a tool for manipulating objects and it's so fast and efficient. Secondly, because it is incredibly capable and I have not found anything I can't do with it. It's as powerful and robust just fair on how it's priced.įirst of all, because it doesn't cost $10K to deploy it. Ironcad provides all the functionality of software that costs 2 and 3 times more yet is as solid and reliable. They seem to forget that there are many more small designers and engineers then there are large firms and we can't throw $10K or more at software anytime we need to. I can't afford the price that CAD developers get away with in their pricing.
