IronCAD Doubles Productivity for Fixture Designer, Darko Inc.
IronCAD announced retail fixture designer Darko, Inc has integrated IronCAD into its development cycle. From conceptual development, to design, to communication with manufacturing, Darko's use of IronCAD has doubled their productivity.
"Our customers need cutting edge creative combined with accurate display solutions extremely quick. IronCAD provides me all the tools needed to easily get a job from conception through final production without sacrificing creative," says Jeff Myler of Darko, Inc.
Specific functionality, like dual kernels or IronCAD's sheet metal module, reduces an engineer's design time significantly. Because IronCAD makes use of both ACIS and Parasolid modeling kernels, Darko designers can communicate easily with customers, manufacturers and even designers not using IronCAD. "IronCAD's support of common file formats is amazing. I can share models with just about anyone", says Jeff Myler of Darko, Inc. "Whether sharing files with another software platform, metal fabricators or molders, IronCAD provides the files needed to communicate with them," he continued
Sheet metal is also simplified. Most retail fixtures are composed entirely of sheet metal pieces. Manipulating sheet metal geometry efficiently helps Darko maintain a production advantage over competitors. "Sheet metal pieces fold and unfold with single click. And I can suppress or re-order parts at will without worrying that software won't let me do what I want. IronCAD lets me design freely while retaining CAD precision," says Myler.
