What makes IRONCAD's sheet metal design software rise above the rest?
The ability to move freely between 3D and 2D makes it the perfect software for sheet metal design. Its intuitive interface is easy to grasp and it comes preloaded with several time-saving catalogs of process-specific parts and features.
Catalog-Based Operations
Sheet metal specific design tools that use the same intelligent drag-n-drop design approach found throughout the IronCAD system.
Sketch-Based Operations
Embedded traditional sketch-based operations that work in harmony with the catalog-based features to deliver even more customizable designs.
Intelligent Operations
Intelligent operational tools automatically adhere to predefined material specifications as well as conversion factors for up or downstream requirements.

“Much of our business comes from helping the steel industry prepare for next-generation advanced high strength steels required by the automotive industry,” said Brian Braho, owner of Braho Machinery. “We First began our search for a 3D design solution more than 10 years ago. We are very happy with our decision to use IronCAD. It has become an essential part of our design process. The recent addition of Multi-physics for IronCAD has really helped us take our designs to the next level.”

“Using IronCAD, we were able to build larger machines that have allowed us to be more competitive in that large-scaled compost market,” confirms MBS team member Dustin Kropf. “IronCAD has allowed us to design and deliver and the ability to look at our model and make changes to see what works and what doesn’t which is a huge benefit. IronCAD is an affordable solution. We would never want to go back to the old way.” Dustin continued.
