IRONCAD Next Generation Released

IronCAD Design Collaboration Suite 2011 Translator Bundles Released

Native CAD Formats Delivered at Unprecedented Price Levels

ATLANTA, GA. December 6th, 2010 – IronCAD, LLC, the leading provider of design productivity solutions, today announced the release of the IronCAD Design Collaboration Suite (DCS) 2011 Translator Bundles. Enabling users to communicate design data seamlessly throughout their design process, the DCS Translator Bundles offer native CAD formats at an affordable price across the suite of collaboration products in addition to the large set of standard formats delivered with the Design Collaboration Suite product.

"As part of our collaborative design approach, we have always recognized that users need to share data effectively throughout their organizations and working with both the ACIS and Parasolid kernels simultaneously, we have always been able to support this approach. More recently, with IRONCAD Draft, our ability to reference and reuse 3D data within the 2D environment has taken this process forward. However, now we are set to push the boundaries one step further." commented Richard Serna, IronCAD’s Sales Director. "Today, we are excited to announce a range of translators that run seamlessly within all of our existing design products, which have the ability to read and write CAD data in all the major native CAD formats. This provides our users the ability to work dynamically, sharing data seamlessly within the multi-CAD environment that we see more and more in todays collaborative design world."
