Introducing ZWCAD MFG 2026: Empowering Mechanical Engineers with Enhanced Design Efficiency and Integrated Workflows

Guangzhou, China – June 4, 2025 — ZWSOFT, a trusted provider of all-in-one CAx solutions, proudly announces the official release of ZWCAD MFG 2026, its next-generation mechanical CAD solution tailored for engineers and manufacturers worldwide. With a sharp focus on elevating design efficiency and data management, this release equips users with powerful tools to drive innovation, reduce errors, and streamline workflows across the phases of mechanical product design.

Why Choose ZWCAD MFG 2026?

ZWCAD MFG 2026 is designed for manufacturing excellence, combining expanded part libraries, automated workflows, and greater compatibility, all optimized for efficiency elevation in mechanical and industrial design. Built for modern teams and compatible with legacy data, ZWCAD MFG 2026 enables a seamless transition into future-ready workflows.

What’s New in ZWCAD MFG 2026?

Product Inplace Manager: Smarter Data, Better Collaboration

Modern mechanical projects demand more than just precise drawings—they require a system to manage design data effectively. The new Product Inplace Manager introduces a visual assembly tree, allowing users to create, browse, and open part drawings directly from a unified interface.

What sets it apart is the ability to update and maintain BOM data without opening individual drawings. Interlinked parent-child relationships ensure consistent updates across all assemblies, vastly improving both accuracy and speed. Users can also run batch operations, such as printing, script execution, and file exports—removing tedious manual tasks from daily workflows.

Screw Connection: 65% Faster Design for the Most Common Assembly Task

Screw connections are foundational in mechanical design and often a major time sink. ZWCAD MFG 2026 introduces a wizard-based Screw Connection tool that boosts efficiency by over 65%.

Engineers can now insert complete assemblies (bolts, washers, nuts) with just one click by selecting a nominal diameter. The system auto-matches sizes and calculates bolt lengths based on hole depth. Whether you're designing pressure vessels, gear housings, or control panels, you can now create and reuse custom templates, switch view styles (e.g., section view), and edit elements post-insertion. It’s not just faster—it’s smarter.

Hole Generator: Parametric Precision, Effortlessly Delivered

Precision hole placement is now intuitive and customizable with the Hole Generator in ZWCAD MFG 2026. Such powerful tool allows users to quickly create a wide range of holes—straight, stepped, tapered, center—using built-in international standards.

Just specify the hole type and diameter, and the system auto-fills all other specs. Users benefit from support for local section views, automatic dimensioning, and two annotation modes (Leader & General), ensuring drawings are both precise and easy to interpret.

Part Library Expansion: Over 370 New Parts, Countless Possibilities

Designing with local standards just got a whole lot easier. ZWCAD MFG 2026 introduces over 370 newly added JIS and KS standard parts—from structural steel profiles to bearings and fasteners. No more digging through outdated catalogs or customizing parts from scratch. With a few clicks, engineers can now insert region-specific components that are ready to go—reducing guesswork and accelerating global compliance. Whether you're designing a gearbox in Seoul or a frame in Tokyo, your go-to parts are already in place.

Part Library Expansion

Multi-Language Support

ZWCAD MFG 2026 adds support for Czech, Spanish, and Hungarian. It now supports a total of 11 languages: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, German, Korean, Turkish, Polish, Czech, Spanish, and Hungarian.

Broad AutoCAD Mechanical Compatibility: From AM6 (2004) to 2024

ZWCAD MFG 2026 ensures seamless import and export of legacy drawings by supporting all AutoCAD Mechanical versions from AM6 (2004) to 2024. This minimizes file conversion issues, enabling engineers to protect existing investments and reuse years of design assets.
