“The future of ZWSOFT lays in combining closely with the industry. We will focus on helping different industries solve their practical problems, and grow together with them”, said Truman, CEO of ZWSOFT. While keeping enhancing the capabilities of ZW3D platform, we never forget industry applications. So what about ZW3D 2020 Beta for mold and electrode industries?
New Mold Features Facilitate Detailed Design
Now you can create the cooling systems much faster. Various parameters can be adjusted with a dynamic real-time preview. Groove, taper lock, runner, gate, etc. can also be created quickly and intuitively, delivering more powerful mold design.

More Abundant Mold Library Commands
Many tools for standard parts have been added, such as Positive Screw, Locating Rings, Wedge Lock, Spring and so on, enabling you to insert and modify positive screws, locating rings, sprue bush, wedge locks, springs, etc. with ease, and thus speeding up your mold design.

Auto Mold Drafting
Similar to Auto Drafting mentioned in CAD module, Auto Mold Drafting allows you to create mold drafts in batches. Mold types can be recognized automatically for you to filter and select easily, and various drafting templates can be applied to different mold types. In this way, your time spent in creating 2D drawings for multiple mold components can be greatly saved.

Updated Electrode Module
The Electrode module of ZW3D 2020 has also been updated, making the EDM (Electrode Discharge Machining) design a much easier job. For example, you can create multiple Electrode Blanks in Batches, use Dynamic Circle to help you quickly judge whether to insert an electrode at a specific location, generate a Bill of Electrodes, assign Electrode Attribute to non-electrode objects, engrave text on electrodes, etc.
