TAIYO YUDEN Chooses ZW3D to Boost CNC Machining Productivity
ZW3D today announced that it has been selected by TAIYO YUDEN for its sophisticated CAM technology and the ability to seamlessly connect product design to manufacturing. Fully compatible with data of mainstream CAD software, ZW3D will help TAIYO YUDEN speed up manufacturing and improve productivity.
Since TAIYO YUDEN’s inception in 1950, it has been engaged in the development and mass production of electronic components including capacitors, inductors, circuit products and many more, serving renowned IT and electronic companies such as Apple, Sony, Panasonic and Samsung.
The Need
TAIYO YUDEN has seen an increasing demand for high-quality and precision products. Although it has been using 3D CAD software for machining for years, it found that the insufficient CAM functions cannot meet its production requirements and has hindered its development. To stay ahead of the competition, TAIYO YUDEN must constantly enhance its products, so it is seeking more efficient CAD/CAM solutions with less financial investment.
The Solution
TAIYO YUDEN selected ZW3D to optimize productivity after in-depth research and testing. Integrated with advanced product design, mold design and 2-5 axis machining, ZW3D managed to cover most of its manufacturing needs and CAM requirements. Engineers can transfer their creative ideas into 3D models, process more efficient simulation and conduct manufacturing faster than ever before. The seamless workflow between design and manufacturing greatly reduces the design cycle and improves the efficiency of projects.
Data exchange has also been improved with the increased compatibility with mainstream 2D and 3D CAD platforms. Mainly engaged in electronic components like capacitors, inductors, MLCC and MLCI, TAIYO YUDEN usually uses 2D CAD for drafting and sketching, before importing the data to 3D design software for simulation and computer-aided manufacturing. Accurately converting 2D data will contribute to improving work efficiency and raising productivity.
“There have been concerns when choosing new 3D design software, but ZW3D relieved our doubts with its excellence in strong data compatibility and the efficient conversion from 2D to 3D. We can now cooperate with our manufacturer in a more efficient way,” Commented an engineer from the Design Department in TAIYO YUDEN
The Service
The ZW3D technical team provides technical support to help TAIYO YUDEN stay up-to-date with the latest technology. Optimized for the ease of use, ZW3D can be quickly mastered designers, helping them ensure maximized machining efficiency during real work.
