Industrial machinery and equipment

ZW3D AdvancedComplete machines, not just parts.

ZW3D Advanced is designed for machine and plant designers: large assemblies, sheet metal, weldments, piping, wiring and ECAD/MCAD collaboration, with structural analysis of the assembly and motion simulation.

Assembly of an automated machine line in ZW3D WuKong 2027.
Large assemblies, structures, piping, wiring.

What you do with ZW3D Advanced

Large assemblies

Assemblies with thousands of components, standard parts, interferences and exploded views, with 2D drawings associative to the model.

Piping and wiring

Pipe and cable routes designed in the 3D assembly, with bills of materials and lengths always up to date.

Mechanics and electronics together

ECAD/MCAD collaboration to bring boards and electronic components into the mechanical assembly.

Motion and load checks

ZW3D Motion to simulate mechanisms, and linear static analysis of parts and assemblies.

For machine builders

Automated machines, fixtures, plants: where the design is an assembly with hundreds of parts, welded frames, pipes and cables, ZW3D Advanced keeps everything in the same model.

It is the edition with the most design modules. To machine the parts you design in CAM, see ZW3D Ultimate.
