ZW3D 2015 Beta Release: Upgraded Tools to Ease Design & Machining Tasks

ZW3D today announced the availability of ZW3D 2015 Beta, delivering new features and numerous enhancements to minimize overheads and maximize productivity in the design and manufacturing process.

Empowering More Flexible 3D Modeling with Customer-driven Developments

Enhancements of ZW3D 2015 Beta cover every aspect of ZW3D’s CAD functions, such as the newly-developed "Auto File Recovery" to restore unsaved modifications from unexpected crashes, the updated file translator to boost healing on imported models by up to 40%, the new interference checking to empower assembly modeling and many more developed modeling tools to provide a flexible and interactive design environment. These customer-driven optimizations of ZW3D CAD aim to make everyday design tasks easier and help users develop marketable products with a lower budget and shorter lead time.

Boosting CNC Machining Speed with User-friendly Advancements

As for CAM module, ZW3D 2015 Beta provides new and enhanced tools that can greatly increase product quality and manufacturing consistency with saved programming time. Roughing is a good proof. With better region detection, it is more stable and precise to get the desired roughing tool path directly on 3D designs with less machining time.

Additionally, longer tool life and better surface quality are obtained thanks to the re-constructed toolpath, enriched lead in/out types and newly-added mill 5 calculation on STL, which provides an easier and faster CNC programming environment to machine simple and complex geometries.

"This release of ZW3D 2015 Beta will not fail you. It possesses handy features to help increase product quality, reduce costs and decrease design and production time," said Colin Lin, Vice Director of ZW3D Overseas Business.
