Technology & Products
Key Products
ICad3D+ (core 3D/2D footwear design software); 3D last design tools; ICad Workspace (cloud platform for design sharing); Icad Discovery module; Icad Lancer module
Technological Advantage
Proprietary integration of 3D and 2D workflows tailored specifically for footwear, developed over 30-50 years of CAD/CAM expertise by INESCOP, with material wizards, texture imports, and direct 3D printing export capabilities that are not replicated in general-purpose CAD software.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces footwear design and pattern engineering time by integrating 3D and 2D environments in a single program, cutting development cycles from weeks to days, enabling rapid prototyping via 3D printing, and lowering material and human resource costs by up to 50% compared to traditional methods.
How They Differentiate
ICad3D+ integrates 3D design and 2D patterns in a single synchronized program, unlike Shoemaster which is more beginner-focused, Romans CAD which is cloud-based but less integrated, and Procam which lacks the same level of footwear-specific workflow optimization; enables direct 3D printing exports and material editing not available in general CAD alternatives like Rhino or Fusion 360.
