Customer Background

Engetak Engenharia Ltda. (engetak) is a Brazilian engineering company specializing in customized industrial solutions for the automotive, mining, and steel industries.

As its automotive business expanded, engetak planned to establish a dedicated automotive prototype center to improve assembly validation and accelerate product development.

Challenges & Pain Points

During the project, engetak faced several key challenges:

Large Assembly Performance

Automotive validation requires handling complex assemblies with hundreds of components. Traditional CAD software often suffered from lag and instability, affecting design efficiency.

Manual Drawing Updates

Changes made to 3D models required manual updates to engineering drawings, increasing review time and the risk of inconsistencies.

Slow Design Iteration

Geometry modifications often required rebuilding parametric features, making design changes time consuming and reducing responsiveness to customer requirements.

The Solution with ZW3D

ZW3D provided engetak with an integrated 3D design and validation solution.

Efficient Large Assembly Handling

ZW3D enabled smooth processing of complex automotive assemblies, improving ergonomic analysis and interference checking efficiency.

Intelligent 3D–2D Associativity

All updates made to 3D models were automatically synchronized with engineering drawings, reducing manual errors and shortening review cycles.

Faster Design Changes

With direct editing capabilities, engineers could quickly modify geometries without rebuilding models, significantly accelerating prototype optimization.

Powered by ZW3D, engetak successfully established an automotive prototype center.

Results & Transformation

Using ZW3D, engetak successfully established its automotive prototype center and improved engineering efficiency.

Key results included:

· Stable handling of large automotive assemblies

· Faster ergonomic and interference validation

· 40% shorter drawing review cycles

· 80% improvement in design iteration efficiency

· Prototype cycles reduced from two weeks to three days

According to engetak’s engineering manager:

“ZW3D fully meets our requirements for an efficient and stable 3D design solution.”

Future Growth

Engetak continues investing in digital transformation and Industry 4.0 initiatives. ZWSOFT will further support Brazilian manufacturers with integrated CAx solutions and localized services to accelerate smart manufacturing innovation.
