ZW3D 2018: Integrated MISUMI To Speed up Mold Design by 50%

ZW3D, one of the world's leading suppliers of advanced CAD/CAM solutions for the manufacturing industry, today announced that it has struck a partnership with MISUMI, a 3D CAD library for standard components of press die and plastic mold, to empower engineers with configurable components to speed up mold design.

Designers & engineers can benefit from this integration of MISUMI Mold EX-Press when ZW3D 2018 is released on December 5th, 2017. Empowered by this complete collection of MISUMI library, ZW3D users can quickly select and locate the parts from more than 10, 000 types of part models, reducing mold design time by 50% with high quality.

Mold EX-Press makes it much easier for users to quickly select parts with various search methods. Exporting CAD models only needs 3 steps. With a single click, quotation is automatically generated, eliminating order errors to zero. Making design more precise and easier is what ZW3D is pursuing.

“We see the cooperation as a key step towards ‘smart manufacturing’,” said Colin Lin, Director of ZW3D Overseas Business. “With the smart standard parts library, ZW3D frees designers from the complexity of selection, matching and maintenance. The successful collaboration between ZW3D and MISUMI will surely lead to a greater development.”

“As a leading CAD/CAM solution provider in China and abroad, ZW3D has built up a good reputation among customers with its powerful functions. Its goal of improving design efficiency through technical means is also consistent with the idea of MISUMI Mold EX-Press,” said Xu Xiaobing, Solution Development Team Manager of MISUMI. “We believe this win-win cooperation will play an active role in further module function improvement and user experience enhancement.”
