hello to all, I accidentally came across a link where a new cad 3d was advertised, the zw, is there any of you who tested it? What do you think?
I am a strong supporter of solidworks, I think it is in the first place encountered and it will still be for a long time, but it intrigues me sometimes to test and try and above all to hear other brochures regarding the new software, especially when they are new and just out.
thanks to all and good evening to you.
 
I never used it, but there are already discussions about this software.
start taking a look at him
 
zw3d is not a new cad3d but changed ownership in 2010-2011 before it was called vx cadcam
is a great 3d mechanic has all the solid environments surfaces, class a, welded sheets good hardware bookcases, nuts etc.. import points clouds, import stl that can rebuild, and also has addable cam packages
 
we have both swx and zw3d, but I guarantee that the hybrid modeling power is totally in favor of the second, which allows you to do with great skill and ease unthinkable things compared to the toy of dss. If you download the zw3d demo, read the tutorials in the \pdf folder, where you will understand the real tracings of a 100% hybrid system. This is the main reason why I systematically avoid using swx where everything seems "complicated", especially at the level of management of supfs and wireframe entities. not to underestimate the morphing module of zw3d with which 2 weeks ago I managed to "viziare" some details obtained by plastic injection that were wisely correct. result: zw3d=22 features, swx=impossible (as mentioned by a Swiss design studio for automotive). and see you

hi polymar, I can only confirm your consideration more than positive on zw3d. I know very well what you're talking about, I was one of the first to use it in Italy, since the times of vx , and since then there is no software able to beat it on modeling .
 
ciao melo.m., zw3d in pure modeling can certainly keep pace with cad much more blasoned, but at the same time more expensive, and not by little! :) some slipper also has zw3d, such as an inexplicable slowness in regenerating parts in editing. only thinkdesign in terms of surfaces is certainly comparable, but it is not a 100% hybrid as we mean it. Catia and nx are a separate speech, even in the wallet is meant:) after being passed by many solid-blahblah, ptc and autodesk modelers, I think that zw3d is able to manage, facilitate and facilitate any modeling operation, both on native and imported parts. the kernel works with a very high precision with curves and supf of any complexity and degree, and the multi-object file is really very useful from my point of view. personally, lamenting an unsatisfactory quality of the real time rendering of the graphic window, at levels of proe so much to understand, and the lack of some default shortcuts to manage the orientation, like the famous cube :) I spoke with some developers of the sw, but for the moment nothing to do. Ultimately, zw3d cannot create static surfaces, i.e. not associative, but it stores everything in history. sometimes, considering the high editing capabilities on supfs, the "non-parametric", "dynamic" or "non-associative" mode in thinkdesign style, would be useful to simplify and contain the features tree, in my opinion;)

consideration. . .
buy history and you have the statist surface...the rendering module considers it a real option,, with very little you have the interface with keyshot-.

one thing you forgot to emphasize....the ease of modeling of imported maths....no other software is at its level;)
 
Yes, compressing history could be a remedy, but not a real solution as being able to decide whether or not to associate any feature to history would be a great advantage on imported geometries, when you make hundreds of sizes and sews. but the keyshot module is not for static renderings? something similar to realview would not mind anyone and I do not see sensible this choice to incorporate it as an optional though at low price. I would say that the modeler is fantastic, unfortunately I have no cam feedback, where the competition of hypermill, tebis and edgecam is really hard to beat.

Trust me,
there are companies that have hm, and ask me to make routes to 5 axes;)
 
Amazing!!! :) then, I know for certain (=by direct experience) that, on the routes 5 axes, the hm post-processor for num and osai controls have always had bugs that openmind never managed to solve. so in simulation you see one thing, in reality something different happens ... and little pleasant :) even some fixed cycles are certainly not perfect, but at cam level it is very appreciated especially when combined with thinkdesign. I do not exclude short of doing some tests with the zw3d cam, especially to see if the quick milligram/hsm work inexplicable way.

What you're saying is a very normal error in the post-processor configuration of the machine. every cam will show you in the simulation a path to 5 axes continuous, usually firm piece and fresa in motion. Of course this is not always the reality, you will be able to find machines with 5 boards table, table board, board head, etc., even with rotation senses of the 4-5 axis inverted. the technician must configure the post processor to ensure that those that the cam shows you are translated in the way corresponding to the cinematics of the working center. the same for fixed cycles....if you need; )
 
You really know about cam! Unfortunately for me this speech belongs to the past, when I was a programmer. Now with zw3d I have much more fun doing everything possible with the surfaces, similarly with thinkdesign, on pieces that must be spoiled to go into mold. In fact, with all the other cads these things are not minimally imaginable, because they remain de facto "solids":) and you won't believe it, but the morphing of zw3d is really a fun, a little as it happened with the gsm of thinkdesign.
 
others must believe it too, because too often a certain inertia to change transforms things easy in difficult, stretching to unmeasure the times.
 
Thank you for posting the video. even if the machine was not top, I must say that the 5-axis processing is always fascinating, so if zw3d manages them optimally, then it deserves an extra star;) I also add that zw3d can repair automatically and perfectly some imported stp models with the heal command, when on the same swx fails inexorably. correct geometries with zw3d always manage to be meshate with Moldovaflow at the first attempt. Great!
