China National 3D Industrial Design Challenge: ZW3D Assists Users to Hit Peak

ZW3D today announced that it has assisted contestants to win 4 big prizes in China National 3D Industrial Design Competition.

This National 3D Industrial Design Challenge is definitely the biggest event in the Chinese CAD/CAM industry, hosted by MIIT (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology), ISPA (China Industrial Software Promotion Association), along with mainstream 3D CAD/CAM providers, like ZWSOFT. The Chinese government managed to bring together 2,000 contestants, including professional designers, school teachers and CAD/CAM enthusiasts, in this challenge, in a bid to expand the application of industrial software and improve the R&D of domestic 3D CAD/CAM platforms.

Recently, the challenge came to a successful conclusion with hundreds of delicate designs. Winners were awarded on the 5th Session of China Industrial Software Development Forum in Beijing, with ZW3D users taking 1 first prize, 4 third prizes and 7 excellence awards.

With the aid of ZW3DCAD/CAM platform as well as solid groundwork and wild imagination, many ZW3D users created their elaborate, esthetical and practical designs, covering consumer goods, automation, electronics, machinery, and much more.

Among all the entries, a concept car designed by an experienced ZW3D user won the first prize. The design was inspired by the F-22 Beast Fighter with slightly flaunted headstock and smoothly streamlined body, a blend of ferity and tenderness. Meanwhile, this concept car is an electric-gasoline hybrid vehicle, striking a balance between fashion and energy conservation.

The challenge judges commented, “This design is molded via parametric technology of ZW3D, with extensive use of high-order curves and surface modeling to generate high-quality surface, ensuring the streamline of the car’s integral body. In addition, in terms of model rendering, matched application of texture and adept setting of illumination lead to vivid visual effects.”
