You can easily access commonly used materials and customize material properties to suit your specific needs.
The simulation results can be presented in various ways, such as result clouds, lists, and animations. You can also customize the results, review results, and create reports on simulation results.
Highlights CAE
Features such as holes, grooves and steps in parts can be automatically detected so that efficient drilling programs and milling paths can be created according to the user's requirements, significantly reducing programming time.
Volumill™ for ZW3D can help create optimized toolpaths that save 50-80% of cycle time. It also allows full milling depth to be utilized, reducing cutting tool costs by up to 75%.
Over 40 types of 3X-controlled machining processes are available, allowing you to easily handle all types of manufacturing tasks. With QuickMilling, it is easy to create smooth toolpaths that guarantee high-quality surfaces.
A complete indexing and 4-5 axis machining solution is available that can work with STL files. You can efficiently use features such as chips, drive curve, flow cut, etc. to produce precise parts.
Internal and external roughing, finishing, grooving, threading, facing and drilling are easy to use and useful for machining most turned parts. Turning cycles, simulation and verification accelerate the transition from manual programming to safe machining.
Achieve better toolpaths, improve machining efficiency, and avoid tedious parameter adjustments and toolpath recalculations. The entire or partial toolpaths can be flexibly edited with tools such as trimming, reordering, relinking, extending, and transforming.
Wireframe simulation, Solid Verify and full machine simulation enable reliable, efficient and safe machining by detecting collisions, analyzing backlogs, etc. to avoid machine damage, poor quality and late deliveries.
