Use this as a fast reference while you design. Hover any control in the workspace for a shorter explanation.
Add + engineering parts
Add primitive solids or generate parametric bolts, nuts, bearings and gears. Import PNG/JPG references, STL, OBJ, STEP and editable .irforge projects.
Build precision geometry
Create constrained sketches and B-Rep fillets, chamfers, shells and lofts. Every dimension is entered in millimetres.
Move, rotate + scale
Use the coloured handles or enter exact X, Y and Z values. Set Z to bed places the lowest selected point at Z = 0.
Warp, cut, subtract + split
Twist, taper or bend a body, cut cylindrical bores, subtract one selected body from another to create negative geometry, and split one solid into two watertight bodies.
Mates + joints
Select the fixed part, then Shift-select the moving part. Apply coincident, concentric, parallel, distance or angle mates. Pick the XYZ fulcrum directly on the model and save revolute, linear, ball, screw or gear joints.
Motion + collision
Set joint limits, motor RPM and gear ratio, then play or scrub. Forge tests transformed mesh geometry instead of relying only on bounding envelopes.
Inspect + repair
Measure clearances and mass, detect bed, wall-envelope, non-manifold, scale and interference issues, then apply safe automatic repairs.
IR Forge Print
Select a printer and material profile, auto-orient the design, analyse bed fit and overhangs, preview supports and model layers, inspect G-code, then connect to OctoPrint, Moonraker or a compatible Creality setup in the desktop edition.
IR AI
Describe additions and amendments in plain language. Your Forge AI Token balance remains attached to your account.
Save + export
Save retains an editable .irforge project. Export creates STL, OBJ, STEP or a manufacturing QA report locally.
Camera + selection
Drag to orbit, scroll to zoom, right-drag to pan and double-click a part to centre it. Shift-click selects multiple parts.
