The Very Best 3D CAD Rental Offer!

The Case for Inexpensive 3D CAD!


Here are some interesting 3D CAD modeling exercises. They started out as product comparisons, but soon moved to a study in 3D CAD modeling techniques in which I introduce Streamline Sketching and Feature Based Modeling. ZW3D offers the functionality of designing with primitive shapes which can increase productivity 5 to 10X. The basis of all engineering is part design and documentation.

Here is a comment by one of my customers that just moved to ZW3D Lite:

"Well Joe, I'm back using SW for my daytime job and ZW for my evening job. Much prefer ZW."  

I would also like to introduce you to Phil Procario, Jr. Phil is one of the most experienced and prolific 3D CAD designers I have ever met. He has completely moved to ZW3D Standard for his personal and work 3D CAD system. He is now the ZW3D go to guy in TECH-NET. Read what he says about ZW3D.

Read through the features of ZW3D Lite and compare!

The very best features are the Multi-Object environment and Integrated Drawing. Design your complete project or assembly in one file including the drawings! This eliminates much of the data management problems.

Hybrid 3D Shape & Feature Modeling

  • Advanced solids with built-in primitive shapes

  • Superb shape simplification for direct editing of any geometry

  • Import and export of all industry standard formats, including PMI data for NX, Catia, Creo and Solidworks

  • Feature commands for holes, threads, lips and rib networks

  • Integrated Model healing

  • 3D engraving on solids and surfaces

  • Unlimited undo/redo capability

  • Variable-offset shelling and draft

  • Part comparison utilities

2D Detailing, Sections, Details/BOM & hole Tables

  • Integrated Drawings in part or assembly 

  • 2D Detailing, Sections, Details/BOM & hole Tables

  • Automatic layout with projection, sectioning and detailing

  • Hidden line, wire frame, shaded and fast hidden line views

  • Advanced sections of trimmed parts or trimmed surface

  • QuickDraw geometry with One-touch trimming & dimensioning

  • Annotate views, sections and details with True Type

  • Fonts Assembly exploded, detail, configuration and history state views

  • GD&T Editing and creation

  • Bill of Material, Hole & Electrode tables with auto-ballooning

  • Title Header fill-in with attributes, variables or images (logo display)

  • One-touch model recall

SmoothFlow Direct Edit & Quick Edit

ZW3D features a next generation 3D SmoothFlow design paradigm. SmoothFlow will make ZW3D the fastest, most effective 3D CAD system available anywhere. It combines the speed and flexibility of direct modeling with the precise control of dimension-driven designs, without losing the features and functionality of history-based modeling. You can modify features quickly and effectively on native or imported geometry without history regeneration.

Assembly

ZW3D burst technology offers efficient handling of 10,000 part assemblies or larger. By special handling of display data, ZW3D minimizes memory usage which allows users to efficiently manipulate and manage assemblies from design prototyping through manufacturing.

  • Single Model Environment

  • Strong support for assembly-centric design

  • Top-down or bottom-up assembly design

  • In-place assembly shape modeling

  • Editable Bill of Material with Excel link

  • On demand data retrieval

  • Assembly patterns

  • Interference checking

  • Exploded views (automatic & interactive)

  • Part lookup with predefined search paths

  • Constraint-based component positioning

  • Assembly history regeneration offer more and better edit behavior.

PMI (Product Manufacturing Information)

PMI (Product Manufacturing Information) is 3D annotation, which allows designers intuitively create dimension and annotation on the 3D entities.

Geometry Healing

ZW3D healing with new healing function can analyze and quickly repair abnormal conditions found in the geometry of imported files (e.g., vertex points, edge curves, UV curves, and face boundaries). These abnormalities include gaps that are impossible to machine. ZW3D can resolve thousands of such problems in minutes. Even though ZW3D can go straight to work on poor geometry, great healing tools are still essential to anyone that works with imported data.

Translators

ZW3D has good capability to convert 3D model file, including IGES, PARASOLID, STEP, DWG/DXF, STL, VDA file. For image file (jpg, tif, bmp), many work can be done in ZW3D. Such as 2D images imported into sketch environment can be converted to lines, arcs or curves. Any CAD model can be saved as 2D/3D PDF.

Directly read other CAD data from CATIA, NX, CREO, SOLIDWORKS, SOLIDEDGE, INVENTOR, including 3D models and PMI. With "Associative import" function, the imported 3D model can be updated after editing in ZW3D. Any 3D models can be directly saved as CATIA V4/5 part or assembly file.
