Pros / Cons
  • As far as I can recall we have never had a former user of the competitor software ever return to those products and that is a testament to IronCAD's abilities and productivity increases for its users.
  • I didn't quite like the interface and some of the features in IronCAD.

  • My overall experience with SolidWorks has been great, it's easy enough to use for jr. engineers to learn, and advanced enough for senior engineers to leverage creating blueprints very quickly and efficiently.
  • The downside of this software is its sadddenly crashes sometimes ,so all the work we have done before crashing will be lost.
