It’s a slight departure in my typical design flow, however, it was a great time saver and they may have converted me. That said, I’m glad I broke through the TinkerCad viewpoint and gave IronCAD Drag and Drop Modeling a try. It’s like if AutoCAD and Inventor were going to the park to shoot hoop with their friends, Solidworks and Onshape, and Mom makes them take their annoying little brother, TinkerCad.
I feel TinkerCad is the annoying little brother of all the other parametric modelers. One other feature I historically dislike has been drag and drop features maybe because it reminds me of using TinkerCad. The quickest way to lose the attention of a new potential user is to rename items such as Fillet to something fluffy like Blend Edges. I really can’t believe I said that! When companies compete to convert users from one 3D package to the next its critical that the initial learning curve isn’t too steep. However, there are some paradigms that should almost never change. I love development and enjoy breaking paradigms within design of machines, products and robotics.

An example of this is the Fillet command in IronCAD it’s called Blend Edges.Īs an engineer, when I see this I get a bit worried that the software is being developed by non-engineers. Onshape walked in to the pizza joint and everyone else was jealous because Onshape was the only one that had web access.įor the record, I am wary of software packages that rename functions, sketch commands or features that are the cornerstone of computer aided design.
#IRONCAD IMPORT COLLECTION OF POLYGONS MOVIE#
After the movie they got pizza and Draft Sight. The surface models of the cars did a Fusion 360 and due to IronCAD’s Houdini driving they were fine. Revit called IronCAD to get together, and while they were driving to the movies their car was hit by Sketchup. It feels like AutoCAD was out drinking with 3dsMax, and Inventor felt cheated on by AutoCAD so it started dating Rhino3D. In reviewing IronCAD I was surprised at how cool and powerful it was. With IronCAD this rule of thumb was important. When reviewing new software, I’m always carful not trust my first impressions as they can prevent you from seeing important features and capabilities.
