The True Cost of Subscriptions!
"CAD subscription only, is a very bad business decision. It is like getting married to someone you can't control and almost impossible to divorce after a few years."


I called up an old customer and asked if he wanted to upgrade to the latest ZW3D. He works with a variety of companies including Boeing and need to keep the translators up to date. He get the documents as Catia PMI.

He said business was slow and could not afford it.

I thought how many out there are using Autodesk, Solidworks, NX, Creo, Catia and others and are in the same boat! No access to your precious engineering data. This is part of the true cost of a subscription.

Most of our product retail price is not much more than the subscription! Now if you have multiple seats you would want to keep one seat, until you wean yourself off the software.

If you have a single seat our software can read the latest versions. So you pay one more year and start moving your info over.

Now is the time to make a change, while things are slow.

Go ahead and give it a try! We will help you. If you are a large company you are probably tied to system with PLM. If you move your document control out of the CAD system it opens huge cost effective opportunities which include not being tied to one vendor. This frees the engineer from having to be part of the document control system.

3D Modeling Techniques Defined



If you are working with assemblies, you can bring them into a single file, with ZW3D's multi-object environment and integrated drawings which eliminates much of your PDM problems and, of course, create sub-assemblies or documentation in the same file.

For More information or to Download ZW3D 2021

Please take a look at this lesson. Thirty files in Catia turn into one file, parts, sub-assemblies and drawings due to the multi-object environment and integrated drawings. It is the same with Creo, NX, Solid Edge, Solidworks and Inventor. We read them all plus PMI for NX, Creo, Solidworks and Catia!

ZW3D vs Catia Lesson 3 Assembly

ZW3D is Great for Hybrid Industrial/Mechanical design! Fully functional Class 3 surfacing along with Precision Morphing is available on our ZW3D Standard for swoopy designs.




We do have rental options for those times you need an extra seat.

ZW3D is one of the few truly integrated CAD systems.

Go here for ZWCAD Pricing - This is ZW's highly Autocad compatible electronic drawing package starting at $800.00 perpetual!

ZW3D Pricing

ZW3D has an optional Catia 5 and Solidworks drawings import function

What’s New in 2021

IronCAD's unique drag and drop design from standard and custom catalogs offers a new paradigm in the constrained sketching world of 3D CAD!

Here are some getting started lessons, we have sketching but is what I call "Streamlined Sketching".

TECH-NET IronCAD Training

IronCAD Offers Minimal Data Management

Create parts and assemblies in a single file with IRONCAD’s single model design environment. Minimal product data management needed. It has a separate documentation module that can have all of documentation in one file. This is more than a drawing module you can do Tech Pubs, Marketing and Tooling & Planning Docs.

Please take a look at this lesson. Thirty files in Catia turn into two file, parts, sub-assemblies and drawings. It is the same with Creo, NX, Solid Edge, Solidworks and Inventor. We read them all.

IronCAD vs Catia Lesson 3 Assembly

IRONCAD 3D modeling software empowers designers to focus on design by giving them an intuitive platform that mirrors how we interact with the physical world. Easily reposition components with the patented TriBall™ visualization tool, resize objects by stretching them with handles, and drag and drop predefined shapes into the design scene for a better, faster design process.

 


IronCAD pricing is very reasonable!

  • IronCAD 2021 $3,970.00 Maintenance $1,295.00!

  • Inovate 2021  $1,270.00 Maintenance $495.00

  • Rent IronCAD Annually at $1,500.00 Options not available with rental.

Options

IronCAD Trans Imports NX, Solid Edge, Solidworks, Inventor
                     Imports/exports Catia 4 and 5!

Annual Maintenance includes a home or mobile seat for the term of the maintenance and support from TECH-NET and IronCAD support!
