IronCAD Compose is free -- free, as in Internet


IronCAD is a rarity in our biz, a dual-kernel, dual-mode CAD package. It is based on Parasolid and ACIS; it does history-based and direct editing. It ought to be really popular, but it isn't. (Probably because it didn't have the marketing budgets that Dassault Systemes and Autodesk could plough into SolidWorks and Inventor.)
What would it take for you to use IronCAD, instead of another MCAD package? You probably wouldn't, but the folks at IronCAD think you should try it out, anyhow. Like any other CAD vendor, they had their 30-day free trial version, but now they are throwing out to us an all-free package: IronCAD Compose.
Ironcad-compose
It's for...
  • Viewing IronCAD files; purchase the optional file translator, and it views files from other CAD packages
  • Configuring 3D models to customer requirements
  • Generating renderings and animations of 3D models
  • Sharing IronCAD 3D models by many people, since Compose is free 
You can get your 420MB copy from http://www.ironcad.com/index.php/support/download-products, which optionally gives you a download all of IronCAD's other software for a 30-day trial (IronCAD, Inovate, Draft, and the translator bundle).

IRONCAD COMPOSE - Configure - View - Communicate


IRONCAD COMPOSE™ is invaluable for anyone who needs to interrogate or display 3D solid geometry. From designers and developers wishing to share a concept or idea with their extended teams to a sales person in the field developing and presenting configuration options to a client at the point of sale. Take measurements on the fly, show renderings, and even present animations all in real-time."
More than just a 3D CAD viewer, IRONCAD COMPOSE is a revolutionary new product empowering users to work share and collaborate with their company’s 3D geometry. IRONCAD COMPOSE delivers the ability to manipulate models and assemblies in 3D, Interrogate them, and even make changes to the structure and assembly, quickly, easily and cost effectively.
Quickly
Using key elements of IRONCAD’s powerful modeling capabilities, IRONCAD COMPOSE allows users to import 3D geometry, manipulate and assemble parts and even create measurements and intelligence to control how and where parts may be placed within assemblies. Once users have created an assembly, they can use IRONCAD Compose to present and deliver their concepts with realistic real-time rendering and animations, export as images or as 3D PDF’s, or even publish them directly to the web. 
Easily
