IronCAD Mechanical streamlines design processes

IronCAD LLC has announced the availability of the latest version of its Mechanical add-on for the IronCAD Design Collaboration Suite 2018.

In this release, the Steels tool has been enhanced to support tolerance setback values to account for welding. In addition, users now can extend multiple steel segments at once to streamline the process of trimming steel structures.

New capabilities for pairing gears to the correct fitting locations have been added. The user selects two gears, right-clicks and drags the gear command into the scene, and the gears become paired. In addition, new capabilities to export all the unfolded flat patterns for sheet metal to individual drawing files for manufacturing have been added.

Sheet metal design has been further enhanced to support the creation of tabs and slots that are commonly found in fabrication design.
