IronCAD is built to perform as a modular design software when equipped with a catalog of CAD content. Build CAD models — or load existing CAD models — in IRONCAD, save them to catalogs, and then use these catalogs to build custom assemblies by simply dragging and dropping parts into the design scene.
IRONCAD’s single-scene environment, coupled with its smart CAD content — catalogs of parts that simply snap together — empowers anyone using IRONCAD or IRONCAD COMPOSE to make viable designs using predefined modular parts.
Create catalogs of smart CAD parts and assemblies that can be shared among IRONCAD users for modular product design.
Build modular designs from predefined parts in IRONCAD’s single-scene environment without any links or multiple files.
Have sales use IRONCAD COMPOSE in the field to design modular systems in real time and generate BOMs on the spot.
Schnaithmann wanted to create a dynamic product catalog of modular automation and material handling equipment so that its salespeople could configure assembly designs with customers in real time.
IRONCAD’s catalog feature allowed Schnaithmann to build an intelligent part library, creating a custom configurator for its sales team that transmits valid data to the engineering team.
