Individuality - the essence of design


Every day innovators, designers and engineers are expected to challenge convention, yet when selecting the tools of our trade we frequently follow the herd.
In a world where the design function is increasingly considered to be an overhead, can we afford individuality?
IronCAD supports and sustains our individuality, producing results quicker and delivering stronger profits not attainable from the mainstream.

IRONCAD

A different way . . a better way . . the fastest way



IRONCAD™ - design the way YOU want

. . and not how the system tells you to!

IRONCAD™ is the undisputed productivity leader when it comes to moving creative ideas into full production-ready 3D reality pioneering a breakthrough creative design approach to deliver an unmatched level of design freedom. IRONCAD™ is the tool of choice for innovators, designers and engineers working against tight deadlines coupled with a high degree of unanticipated change.

IRONCAD™ empowers our community with design agility, providing total control of the design and engineering experience. IRONCAD™ is the only design tool to give you a choice in how you drive the design - from 3D sketches to full parametric design, or any combination, on-demand and all within a single environment. Workflow can be top-down (i.e. design right within the assembly) or at the component level - there are no hard and fast rules; IRONCAD™ harnesses dexterity and creativity to deliver power; what you do with the power is entirely up to you!

Fluent Design Environment

Designed for Everyone, Everywhere.

IRONCAD™ presents a clean and simple approach to enable everyone to really think in 3D and dynamically create models without having to pre-plan or map out the concept in advance.

IRONCAD™ is intuitive yet it provides one of the most powerful design and development solutions available. Using a simple colour feedback system.

IRONCAD™ works with you to go from novice to expert in hours not months.

Design intent or no design intent

That's not the question !

IRONCAD™ provides the ultimate flexibility; designing, editing or sharing - freeing you from the rigid workflow limitations commonplace in mainstream software.

Do you know where the next job will come from? or who you will need to collaborate with? are you evolving a product or exploring a concept? Questions that impact the duration of a job, how changes are managed, how you are perceived, and if you make a profit!

IRONCAD™ works with you providing flexibilty and control so you can embrace the challenges presented by product innovation.

Our commitment to you . . .

Response-3D has worked closely with the IronCAD team since 1996. As a partner we provided the user guide, we developed the core catalogs and supported the development of the European IronCAD supply chain.

No-one is more qualified to support you in your transition to IRONCAD™ . We are designers, innovators and engineers; most of the images used on this site are of products developed by us using IRONCAD™. By understanding your work, your challenges and your needs we can advise and support you more effectively.

Commercially we will support the growth of the design, engineering and innovation community in the UK by ensurig IRONCAD™ represents a small bye-line on your hourly costs.



INOVATE

For concepts . . for communication . . for 3D printing



INOVATE™ - your PERSONAL 3D modeller

the perfect partner for content creators and personal 3D printers

INOVATE™ is the perfect package for 3D content creation; some may refer to it as an entry-level modeller - nothing is further from the truth. INOVATE™ enables wider, cost effective use of 3D modelling within any company or at home, easily satisfying those who do not need surface modelling, sheet metal design or the ability to prepare 2D drawings dyamically linked to the 3D models.

INOVATE™ provides content creators, innovators, designers and engineers with the tools to create new 3D designs, or modify existing 3D models from a wide range of sources. As in IRONCAD™, you get total control of your design workflow from 3D sketches to full parametric design, top-down or at the component level - there are no hard and fast rules; how you design, and what you design is entirely up to you.

Content Creation

Why rely on downloadable files to drive your new 3D printer? or wait for someone else to move your ideas into 3D when INOVATE™ costs less than a plumber for a day!

Sketch in 3D using the unique drag-and-drop catalog of building blocks, from a 2D profile or from an existing model provided by a colleague, a supplier or web based catalog. INOVATE™ is quick to learn and helps develop your abilities and understanding as you go.

Within a matter of minutes you will have built your first 3D solid model in INOVATE™ - to print, render, animate and share with colleagues or via 3D model sharing sites such as GrabCAD; all from within INOVATE™. You can also export your models to local manufacturers and get faster more accurate quotes.

INOVATE™ is the most complete and cost effective tool to build 3D models and assemblies, as concepts or fully detailed designs for collaboration via 3D printing, dynamic viewing, photo-realistic rendering, animation and manufacture.


Cost Sensitive

For your pocket and your time; at a price comparable to the worlds most popular professional office package and with an incredibly short learning curve, INOVATE™ delivers value that is difficult, if not impossible, to beat.

Prototyping to production

From visual prototyping to mass production - INOVATE™ provides the tools to create marketing ready images through to fully engineered designs, including complex drafted plastic parts, for you to issue to colleagues, suppliers and customers.

Share and collaborate

INOVATE™ supports wider collaboration across web and mobile platforms; 3D models can be edited in most mainstream modellers and viewed using standard web browsers or on iOS mobile devices.

KEYSHOT

for IRONCAD & INOVATE



KeyShot - high performance photo-realism

widely recognised as the easiest and most powerful rendering and animation software

When it comes to selling a concept, internal presentations, digital prototyping and creating sales and marketing images from your 3D models KeyShot is probably the fastest and easiest tool to use and master. So why KeyShot when IRONCAD™ and INOVATE™ have integrated rendering? The IRONCAD™ and INOVATE™ built in rendering tools are very powerful and capable however KeyShot provides a faster dynamic environment reducing the time and experience needed to create stunning results.

KeyShot for IRONCAD

and INOVATE

FAST - everything inside KeyShot happens in realtime. KeyShot makes it possible to see changes to materials, lighting, and cameras instantly. No need to hit the render button and wait for minutes or hours to wait for the results.

EASY - you don’t have to be a rendering expert to create photorealistic images of your 3D model. Simply click 'Render in KeyShot', apply materials, adjust the lighting, position the camera - done. Learning KeyShot literally takes only a few minutes.

ACCURATE - KeyShot is built on Luxion’s physically correct render engine based on their research into scientifically accurate material representation and global illumination. The result is stunning realism, incredible accuracy and speed that is beyond compare.
