ZW3D is all-in-one, affordable CAD CAM solution which enables concept to finished product design in an integrated, collaborative environment. Supported by its Show-n-Tell™ built-in learning system, ZW3D includes data exchange, hybrid modeling, mold and die design, and CNC machining from 2-axis through to 5-axis.
 
     Key Features and Benefits
Ribbon Style Interface
   New
 
Graphics Gets Up to 3 Times Faster
  New
Intuitive access to common commands through the new ribbon interface speeds up and simplifies the design process. Hovering the mouse over an icon gives a pop up, context sensitive, help box to make operation even easier.
 
The increase in the display speed for large assembly files and individual parts and drawings, the speed of face analysis display modes and print quality rendered scenes are all enhanced dramatically in ZW3D 2012.

Enhanced Sheet Metal
  
 
Enhanced Extrude and Revolve
Many new features have been added to the sheet metal module. Highly complex shapes can be successfully manipulated in ZW3D2012 adding to its flexibility and capability.
 
New functionality has changed complex geometric operations into a series of simple steps to make these popular and commonly used commands easier and faster.

New 2X Turning
  New
 
Reliable Direct Edit 2.0
The new turning function supports OD and ID roughing, finishing, threading, and grooving operations. Hole making operations are also included. The standard functionalities of tool library, operation management, verification and simulation are also supported.
 
Enhanced Direct Edit reliability allows it to work robustly with more cases, particularly face offsetting and filleting. And the context sensitive mini-toolbar for Direct Edit functions, further adds to ease of use.

Easy Use and Efficient Sketch
 
New Face Operation for Mill 2X
   New
Good work starts with an efficient sketch. Easier to use and faster sketch in ZW3D2012 reduces preparation times by 30%. Lines and points coincident constraints are available. Constraint, snap, and highlight get significant improvements.
 
The Facing Operation creates tool paths which efficiently machine large planar regions with arbitrary boundaries or more complex planar regions with many holes and voids.
