ZW3D STANDARD
ZW3D Standard is a CAD program for 3D designing any shapes. ZW3D CAD / CAM is an advanced design tool that facilitates surface modeling. The Standard ZW3D module provides a full translator package. The ZW3D integrated CAD / CAM system also includes all the tools for creating and editing 2D drawings (technical documentation) of parts, assemblies containing BOM (list of materials) and a module for reverse engineering .
1. Easy to use and clear appearance
- Ribbon interface , typical for popular systems, e.g. Microsoft Office.
- The possibility of any adjustment of icons and toolbars.
- 3D tutorials with textbooks CAD courses in Polish.
- Clear icons with hints make learning easier.
2. Advanced solid and surface modeling
- 3D modeling using standard methods based on sketch and history.
- Simple and frequently used 3D design methods such as: loft , loft , rotation, profiles and more.
- An option for the increasingly popular direct design.
- Advanced control over surface curvatures and contacts.
- Possibility of solid and surface design (the same operations for surfaces and solids).
3. Module for creating assemblies and animations
- Exploded views of 3D assemblies. Create assemblies and 3D modeling in the context of the assembly.
- Creating assembly animation and recording to AVI format
- Configurations in assemblies.
- BOM material list.
4. Creating tin elements and automatic unfolding
- Full and partial edge deflection
- Definable K factor
- Close corners
- Bends along any lines
- Connection by profiles
- Open and closed ribs
- Export layout to DWG and DXF
5. Welded constructions
The Standard module of the ZW3D program enables the creation of welded structures. Designing welded structures in the CAD program is effective and very simple, because profiles can be placed on solid edges, flat sketches and 3D sketches, depending on the needs. The standard and higher modules contain a package of tools necessary for building welded structures.
A rich library of ready-made profiles that can be extended with your own shapes and dimensions is an additional advantage of the module. Already when inserting profiles into the project, you can choose one of several ways to automatically trim or do it manually at a later stage of the 3D design.
6. Picture embossing
The Image Embossing operation is a unique feature of the ZW3D program and distinguishes the ZW3D program from the competition of other CAD systems. The function is available in the Standard module and other more advanced modules.
Image embossing involves changing the height of the points that stretch the wall, based on the gray scale of the loaded image. The result of this operation is an image "embossed" in the likeness of a relief. Here is an example of how this operation works:
7. Library of 3D CAD standards
- The ZW3D Standard program includes a library of standardized parts
- Option to automatically insert models from the library into assemblies.
- You can edit the inserted element later .
- Option to expand the library with 3D models downloaded from different manufacturers.
- The integrated library provides great opportunities for inserting parts . This means shortening the time it takes to create models and increases work efficiency.
8. Importing models from other 3D systems - 3D data exchange
- Possibility to import files from other CAD systems through neutral STEP, IGES, Parasolid files
- Loading files directly from other systems.
After loading it is possible to:
- Geometry repair and editing,
- Creating 2D drawings and inserting into assemblies,
- Preparation for CAM processing.
9. Creating 2D documentation and the ability to save to DXF and DWG
Based on the modeled element, you can automatically create 2D documentation
In the documentation you can use:
- Automatic 3D views with cross-sections and detail views
- Material tables, holes and electrodes
- Ability to create breaks on long elements
- Transfer dimensions from a 3D model
- Weld annotations, roughness and tolerance markings.
- Formatable table with automatic completion.
10. Module to work with point cloud
The Standard module is used to work with files from 3D scanners and gives a wide range of possibilities:
- Change of the XYZ point cloud to the surface
- STL edition - STL deformation
- Points reduction
- Obtaining edges from STL

In addition, the Standard module contains specialized tools for sheet metal, welded structures, advanced solid and surface modeling, and point clouds.

Image import with JPG extension - converted into vector curves, shortcomings are compensated by a combined curve. At the end, the sketch is wrapped around a ball and drawn out to the wall as normal.
