What is ZW3D?

• 1986, one of the first commercial pc-based solid modelers was developed by Mark Vorwaller

• 1999, the first version of Hybrid modeling product was released

• 2002, VX(ZW3D) was named Golden product by NASA, as VX(ZW3D) integrates product design and manufacturing to eliminate the gap between CAD and CAM packages.

• 2012, ZW3D V16 achieved 10 times faster graphics performance

• 2014, ZW3D V18 was released with optimized workflow of CAD and CAM

Flexible 3D Modeling

Solution Parametric Modeling & Direct Edit - Easy and quick edit any imported geometry and native models Unique Solid-Surface Hybrid Modeling - Seamlessly work with solids and surfaces to speed up the modeling design

Flexible Embossing, Morphing, Wrapping & Flex tools - More flexible design and creative products

Work with STL, point cloud and scan data by Built-in reverse engineering - Accomplish more work in the one system without data transfer Associated 2D views, BOM/Hole tables change with the 3D model - Auto-update can save much time and reduce errors Product Verification tools

Assembly Design

Solution Top-Down design & Bottom-Up design - Meat the different needs of designers; Easy to control the associative update

Dynamic section view & Interference check - Detect costly design flaws early in the design process

Vivid animation to simulate the movement - Demonstrate the product to anyone before go to the marketing

Easy to activate the different part configuration and assembly configuration - The real assembly application

Morphing Design

Solution Morphing and wrapping support solid, surface, wireframe and STL data

Solution Generate a raised or sunken text effect according to the image

Sheet Metal

Solution Flange Forming Shape Convert to sheet metal Unfold

Reverse Engineering

Solution ZW3D is one of the mainstream CAD/CAM system to offer built-in reverse engineering functionality. Work with STL, point cloud and scan data Refine meshes, build surfaces or repair gaps Prepare for CNC machining

Enhanced Direct Edit
