Manufacturability analysis
Drafts, undercuts and wall thicknesses checked before you start, so you know at once whether the part can be molded and where to intervene.
Molds
ZW3D ProfessionalThe mold, from analysis to electrodes.
ZW3D Professional adds the whole plastic mold process to Standard: manufacturability analysis, quick parting, standard mold bases, electrodes and automatic drawings, with direct editing for customer models.
What you do with ZW3D Professional
Quick parting
Parting line, shut-off surfaces and creation of cavity and core in a few steps, even on complex parts.
Mold bases and standard parts
Mold bases from the main manufacturers, ejectors, guide pillars and standard components inserted and sized automatically.
Electrodes and drawings
Electrodes extracted from the model with their drawings, and automatic drawings of the mold.
For mold and tool makers
Plastic mold designers need a CAD that starts from the customer's file and gets to the finished mold: ZW3D Professional does it all in the same environment, without switching from one program to another.
With ZW3D Ultimate you add 3-axis CAM to machine cavities, cores and electrodes on the same model.
