ZW3D

Unify Design, Simulation and Manufacturing to Improve Productivity

What’s ZW3D?

ZW3D is an easy-to-learn, all-in-one 3D CAD/CAE/CAM solution that can take you through the entire product development journey from conception to production.

Harnessing the power of design, simulation, and manufacturing, ZW3D helps you build better products faster at less cost. Whether you are a small workshop or an enterprise organization, ZW3D has your needs covered with complete, powerful features including solid-surface hybrid modeling, structural simulation, 2-5 axis machining and specialized tools for sheet metal, molds and more.

All your needs are in one place—the right 3D design-to-manufacturing solution for you

Why ZW3D?

Improved Productivity

Integrate design, simulation and manufacturing into a single program to streamline workflow, and bring your products to market faster.

Reduced Costs

Get the most of your money. From product design to manufacturing, everything can be done at a lower cost.

Smooth Transition

Outstanding CAD interoperability, comprehensive learning materials and responsive support help you switch to the new CAD system with minimum effort.

What Can ZW3D Do?

Industrial Equipment

Satisfy all your design needs with a complete workflow from component and assembly design, through structural analysis and 2D drawing.

Speed up your design process with industry-specific modules for sheet metal, steel structure, piping, harness and more.

Optimize product performance, shorten product development time and reduce prototype costs with structural simulation.

Effortlessly manage data by having parts, assemblies, 2D drawings, and even CAM plans in one file.

Consumer Goods

Directly import and open files from Rhino®, Creo® and other common software solutions for industrial design.

Complete complex design faster with complete skeleton and top- down modeling tools, powerful parametric modeling for structural design, and the ability to create G3 continuity surfaces.

Validate structural strength and improve product quality with a blend of simulation types.

Bring your ideas to life quickly and communicate ideas easily with high-quality, photorealistic rendering.

Plastic Molds

Satisfy all your needs with complete functions covering the entire process from mold design to mold machining.

Speed up mold design with extensive mold analysis tools, specialized design features, mold bases and standard mold parts.

Edit and heal non-parametric 3D models in less time with powerful Direct Edit and a variety of surface editing tools.
