le C N XT Software IronCAD • IronCAD v9 • www.ironcad.com IronCAD 9 is
a versatile 3D modeling program positioned to compete with midrange solid
modelers such as SolidWorks and Inventor, it’s a hybrid modeler. In
other words, it can use parametric as well as explicit methodologies.
IronCAD 9 can be either history-based—using sketches and constraints to
control how things are constructed in a particular order—or
nonhistory-based—building geometry without regard to the construction
order. That choice allows users to model the forms they want virtually
without regard for how the software wants to do things. Modeling can be
quite freeform, but controlled when appropriate. IronCAD 9 is intended for
tasks such as industrial design, where its powerful modeling capability
helps to quickly generate iterative concepts; engineering and
manufacturing, where accuracy and control are paramount; and product
design and packaging, where ease of use is imperative. Just about
everything in the program can be dragged and dropped. IronCAD 9 uses
catalogs or collections of predefined geometry—features, parts and
assemblies—that can be brought into a model from almost anywhere.
IronCAD 9 is a great software program for modeling designs. No matter what
design discipline you work in, you’ll find great value with IronCAD 9.
It’s not as high profile as some other midrange modelers out there, but
is certainly worth checking out. pr in To finish out the year, Cadalyst
All-Star awards honor the best of the best—the products that stood out
among those that earned Highly Recommended ratings from Cadalyst Labs in
the past six months. tf or Si op y By Ron LaFon us C A D A LY S T LABS
