IronCAD Inovate with USB dongle is a low cost, easy to use 3D desktop product for creating, modifying, interrogating, and communicating 3D designs. It is the ideal 3D design collaboration tool from concept to production. Its radical drag-and-drop 3D environment delivers unmatched ease-of-use, speed, design flexibility, and power making it the most productive 3D concept design and communication tool available. IronCAD Inovate with USB dongle bridges the gap between today's viewer technology and a full blown CAD seat.

---

It is perfectly suited for situations where 3D design concepts have to be verified prior to being committed to a formal detail design process. It allows the quick exploration of 3D design concepts and the communication of those ideas through photo-realistic images and realistic motion animations as part of the collaborative process.

---

IronCAD Inovate with USB dongle is equally at home working with existing models which can be imported, interrogated, modified and communicated to others either as models, photo-realistic images or real world animations. IronCAD Inovate with USB dongle is the most complete way to collaborate in 3D.

Ease of Use

Whether you are working with models, creating a rendering or doing an animation, the same basic concepts of drag and drop, right mouse property access and handles are utilized throughout, making IronCAD Inovate with USB dongle the easiest and most cost effective 3D design tool available. It is based on the same award winning user interface technology as IRONCAD. Its user interface has been designed to allow members of the extended design chain to productively participate in the design realization process.

---

Model concepts can be created by simply dragging intelligent 3D features (IntelliShapes) from pre-built catalogs and dropping them into a scene or onto an existing part. Modifications can be accomplished by simply pulling on dynamic handles, or through property pages, accessed through a simple right mouse click. IntelliShapes are designed for maximum flexibility and can be fully parametrized. This revolutionary Creative Design approach is the fastest and easiest way to conceptualize in 3D.

Design Conceptualization

From concept, through detail design, to unpredictable pre/post production changes, IronCAD Inovate with USB dongle is the first new modeling architecture that can effectively be used throughout a products entire product life cycle. It is a product that allows true Creative Design at each stage of the product development process.

---

Creative Design allows design intent to be applied when it is best for the user, with the added freedom to make unanticipated changes at any time during the design process. It is the only 3D modeling system available that allows the user to select, based on need, between using a constraint history based design method or a no constraint, no history based design approach.

---

IronCAD Inovate with USB dongle allows casual users to design quickly and effectively without concerning themselves with constraints, parametrics and feature trees mandated by today's leading systems. Power users can use all of these advanced features and more to create highly intelligent models.

Design Visualization

The integration of powerful, high-end visualization and animation technologies into the core of IronCAD Inovate with USB dongle makes the entire design process faster, more productive, and easier to understand. Real-time detail representations such as texture, bump, and decal mapping are fully integrated to save time and valuable data space. Effective communication to all contributors, at every phase, enhances collaboration and speeds the product development process.

---

In addition to the visual realism, IronCAD Inovate with USB dongle allows models to be set in motion with the addition of SmartMotions. SmartMotions are pre-created drag and drop key frame animations with editable paths providing truly realistic motion. Once created, the animations can be shared with others as animated GIF or AVI files.

Design Communication

The design visualization, collaboration features and ease-of-use makes IronCAD Inovate with USB dongle the perfect tool for Engineering, Marketing, Sales and Training to illustrate and communicate product features either through the use of animations or through directly importing 3D design models into marketing and sales brochures. This versatile use model of IronCAD Inovate with USB dongle takes 3D models beyond the engineering design community.

---

IronCAD Inovate with USB dongle supports a rich set of data translators (IGES, STEP, ACIS, Parasolid, CATIA, Pro/E, STL, and more) that allow it to exchange data with all of the leading CAD systems. Once in IronCAD Inovate with USB dongle, the user can FULLY edit the model data (not just a subset of recognized features) enabling true upstream and downstream design collaboration. This makes it the perfect companion tool to your existing CAD tools.

---

IronCAD Inovate with USB dongle allows engineers to confidently exchange and make use of 3D CAD data throughout the design process, as well as enabling users to share parts or assemblies throughout the design process. IronCAD Inovate with USB dongle supports the creation of custom catalogs such as families of standard parts, which dramatically improves design productivity and facilitates the easy transfer of critical design data between design chain participants.
