Features recognised automatically
Holes, slots, pockets and steps detected on the model to create drilling and milling in a few steps.
2-axis milling and turning
ZW3D 2x MachiningHoles, slots and profiles, without wasting time.
ZW3D 2x Machining is the CAM for 2- and 2.5-axis machining and turning: it recognises holes, slots and steps on its own, generates drilling cycles and milling toolpaths, verifies them on the solid and writes the G-code for your controller.
What you do with ZW3D 2x Machining
2-axis milling and turning
Contouring, pockets, facing, drilling and internal and external turning in the same environment.
Solid verification
The machined part simulated on the stock, and toolpaths fine-tuned with the toolpath editor.
G-code ready
ZW3D post-processor included; with SPP you write the code exactly as your controller wants it.
For workshops and production departments
Plates, flanges, brackets, turned parts: for most of a workshop's parts 2 and 2.5 axes are enough. ZW3D 2x Machining programs them quickly, with a basic CAD to fix the model.
When surfaces and molds come along, you move up to 3x Machining without changing program.
