ZW3D
Unify design, simulation and manufacturing to improve productivity—from product concept to production.
What is ZW3D?
One Platform From Product Concept to Production
ZW3D is an all-in-one 3D CAD, engineering simulation and CAM solution for developing parts, assemblies and manufacturing processes in a connected environment.
Its hybrid solid-surface modeling, associative drawings, structural simulation and 2–5 axis machining tools help engineering teams reduce file transfers and move designs into production more efficiently.
Connected Product Development
Design, Validate and Manufacture in ZW3D
Keep core engineering work connected—from the first 3D model and assembly through simulation, documentation and CNC machining.
Professional Tools Across the Product Lifecycle
Use one integrated environment to reduce data transfers and keep downstream work associated with the evolving product model.
Where Engineering Teams Use ZW3D
Flexible CAD, CAE and CAM workflows support machinery development, product styling, tooling and CNC production.
Industrial Equipment
Develop components and assemblies, validate structures and produce associated manufacturing drawings.
Consumer Products
Create detailed product forms with hybrid solid-surface modeling, rendering and simulation tools.
Mold & Die
Move from model repair and manufacturability analysis through mold design, electrodes and machining.
CNC Manufacturing
Prepare machining operations, verify toolpaths and generate production-ready NC programs.
Work With Existing CAD Data
ZW3D supports more than 25 import and export formats, helping teams reuse legacy models and exchange design data with customers, suppliers and manufacturing partners.
ZW3D Frequently Asked Questions
What is ZW3D used for?
