IronCAD Donates $23 Million Worth of 3D Design Software

More than 5000 IronCAD licenses placed in educational institutions worldwide
in 2004

ATLANTA, GA. April 26th, 2005 – IronCAD, a leading provider of 3D Design Productivity Solutions announced donations of more than $23 Million worth of IronCAD software and support to educational institutions worldwide in 2004. IronCAD, the worlds fastest mainstream design software was delivered to leading colleges in the US, Sweden, Great Britain, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, China and many other countries.

IronCAD is being used in the mechanical design curriculum allowing students to see the benefits of 3D design over 2D. Due to IronCAD's constraint free approach to design, students are able to quickly create their 3D models and assemblies without having to worry about envisioning the final model or needed "design intent". IronCAD's approach to modeling is also greatly appreciated by the teachers and professors. IronCAD's rapid learning curve and ease of use results in educators
spending less time teaching students on how to use a CAD application and more time on CAD theory.

"We're seeing a growing trend of schools changing from difficult to use "constraint based" CAD software to the easy to use, user friendly design approach of IronCAD," says Shaun Murphy, IronCAD's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "The number of requested donations received in 2004 far exceeded our expectations and validates our belief that IronCAD is the fastest and easiest way to 3D. We look forward to adding more schools to our program today and long into the future."

IronCAD's dominant ease of use was further proven by recent educational donations to leading schools in Sweden. "IronCAD is simply the better solution when it comes to fulfilling the needs of students and teachers who are looking for the best design tools," says Robert Anderson of Solidmakarna. "The recent implementation of IronCAD at two of Sweden's leading schools, KTH and Malmo University, where we displaced other mainstream "constraint-based" CAD systems, shows that IronCAD's approach to design is unmatched."
