Spend more time designing.
Less time repairing history trees.
Working with SolidWorks or Autodesk Inventor? Bring CAD files into IronCAD, reuse your design investment and explore a more flexible way to make changes.
FREE native CAD translator with every new IronCAD purchase. T&C's apply. Offer ends 31 December 2026.
Keep the value of your company’s design IP
Your existing models represent years of engineering knowledge. Reuse supported model geometry and data in IronCAD rather than starting again. Translation helps preserve the value of your design investment; it does not guarantee transfer of every original feature, constraint or history tree.
Make changes without depending on the original history tree
IronCAD’s Innovative Part approach combines feature modelling with direct editing. Work on imported geometry without recreating its original feature tree, and apply design rules where they help your task.
Designed for practical, hands-on modelling
Explore drag-and-drop shapes, push-and-pull handles and the TriBall positioning tool. Evaluate the workflow on your own parts and assemblies to see how it fits your design process. Use Assemblies to create parts and new assemblies without losing design intent or recreating parts/assemblies.
The hidden cost management needs to see
Customer feedback received by Athena Horizons describes instances in which engineers often spend 1–2 hours a day resolving history-tree problems. That time can be absorbed into a project’s design hours rather than recorded as CAD rework.
For example, 1–2 hours per working day add up to 5–10 hours per engineer per week. Actual time varies by model, workflow and user; this is customer-reported experience, not an industry average or a guaranteed saving.
