When global automotive manufacturers choose their suppliers, consistency matters as much as capability. Design accuracy, production standards, and data compatibility must align across borders. For King Duan Industrial, bringing more than three decades of international hot forging expertise into Vietnam meant building not just a factory, but a fully synchronized design and manufacturing system.
At the heart of that system are ZWCAD and ZW3D.
Bringing Global Manufacturing Experience to Vietnam
Founded in 1985 in Taiwan, King Duan Industrial Co., Ltd. has grown into a global leader in hot forging technology for steel and aluminum components used in the automotive and machinery industries. Over the past 35 years, the company has established production networks across Taiwan, China, Indonesia, and now Vietnam.
King Duan Vietnam, located in Thang Long Vinh Phuc Industrial Park, specializes in manufacturing automotive parts and auxiliary components. Its presence in Vietnam not only serves local demand, but also plays a strategic role in integrating Vietnam’s automotive supporting industry into the global supply chain.
Today, King Duan is a trusted vendor for leading automotive and motorcycle manufacturers including Honda, Yamaha, and VinFast.
The Challenge of Standardization at Global Scale
As part of a global manufacturing group, King Duan Vietnam operates under strict international requirements:
This created several key requirements:
To meet these needs, King Duan Vietnam set out to build a unified design and manufacturing software system from the ground up.
Building an Integrated Design and Manufacturing Platform
King Duan Vietnam standardized its workflow using ZWCAD for 2D drawings and ZW3D for 3D design, mold development, and CAM machining.
ZWCAD supports daily 2D drafting tasks with a familiar interface and strong compatibility with common CAD formats. This allowed engineers to transition quickly, reduce training time, and maintain productivity from day one.
ZW3D plays a broader role across the product lifecycle. It integrates CAD design, mold design, and CAM machining into a single environment, enabling engineers to move from design to manufacturing without data conversion or information loss.
ZW3D CAM 5X module provides 4-axis and 5-axis machining capabilities with simultaneous movement and indexing functions, particularly suitable for high-precision components such as motorcycle and automotive parts.
“ZW3D is an all-in-one solution,” shared Nguyen Van Anh, Design Engineer. “It integrates professional CAD and mold design functions and transitions smoothly to CAM modules without data exchange.”
Fast Deployment and Practical Results
In 2021, immediately after establishing its Vietnam subsidiary, King Duan quickly deployed ZWCAD under the technical standards and guidance of its parent company. Thanks to strong format compatibility and a user-friendly interface, engineers adapted rapidly and were able to fully utilize the software’s capabilities.
As collaboration with international automotive partners increased, a critical requirement emerged: the ability to directly handle CATIA and NX files.
ZW3D met this challenge directly.
“ZW3D can import CATIA and NX file formats without additional fees like other software on the market,” Nguyen Van Anh explained. “That means I no longer worry when receiving files from partners.”
This capability significantly reduced communication friction, improved response speed, and strengthened trust with global customers.
Supporting Quality, Consistency, and Sustainability
Beyond software tools, King Duan Vietnam follows a long-term strategy centered on sustainable development and standardized management. From hot forging technology and ISO 9001 quality control to technical workforce training, the same production standards are applied consistently across all global factories.
Within this framework, ZWCAD and ZW3D ensure that technical data remains consistent across departments and locations. Design changes are controlled, manufacturing data stays aligned, and errors caused by file incompatibility are minimized.
This synchronized design and manufacturing system strengthens King Duan Vietnam’s competitiveness while reinforcing its role as a reliable partner in the automotive supply chain.
Integrating Deeper into the Global Automotive Supply Chain
Through the combined use of ZWCAD and ZW3D, King Duan Vietnam has built a modern, integrated design and manufacturing platform that balances local efficiency with global standards.
The result is a production system that supports international collaboration, optimizes internal workflows, and enables steady integration into the global automotive supply chain.
For King Duan, digital tools are not just about efficiency. They are a foundation for long-term growth, global trust, and sustainable industrial development in Vietnam.
