119 Entries Brought Life into ZW3D CAD Modeling Contest

ZW3D today announced the final results of the ZW3D Design Challenge 2014, a modeling contest for worldwide designers in a bid to promote, publicize and make creative thinking and innovation visible through 3D CAD modeling.

The contest, which kicked off on October15, required contestants to use ZW3D CAD/CAM software to design and KeyShot to render appliances. Hundreds of stunning submissions were received, making it a tough choice for the judges from ZW3D Community, Luxion Inc. and ZWSOFT.

"The vast variety of entries continues to grow each year with original designs of both conventional and smart appliances, ranging from furniture, small appliances, kitchenware, etc.," said Coin Lin, Vice Director of ZW3D Overseas Business. “We are impressed with the collective creativity, ingenuity and design excellence from the community of loyal ZW3D users."

Winning entries were chosen based on a variety of factors, including model skills, originality, manufacturability and application of ZW3D’s features. Finally, 9 winners stood out from the rest and won big prizes like cash and ZW3D licenses.

The first prize went to Remus Pacis, the designer of Food Mixer. "This food mixer is very delicate and beautiful. It is wise to use top-down design modeling skill to create the product. And the parts and assembly were created with lots of ZW3D’s advanced functions, such as Morph, Ready Sketch, etc.," commented the judges from ZWSOFT.

"I'm very satisfied about the result of ZW3D and its surfacing and direct edit that really helps me to complete my entry for this contest," said Remus.
