What's ZWCAD MFG?
ZWCAD MFG is an advanced CAD solution for manufacturing professionals to improve design standardization and efficiency.
Built on the powerful ZWCAD platform, it enables users to create standardized, high-quality designs easier and faster by offering an extensive library of standard parts, intelligent drawing tools and other productivity-enhancing features. Moreover, it can be seamlessly integrated into PLM systems to achieve efficient management throughout the product lifecycle.
Why ZWCAD MFG?
Create standard drawings with an extensive library of standard parts
Quickly create drawings compliant with national and international standards, including ISO, EN, DIN, ANSI, ASME, PN, IS, JIS, and GOST. From bolts to screws, and rivets to studs, we have all the parts you need for any project.
Speed up your design process with intelligent tools
Automate and accelerate your design workflow with a rich set of drawing tools, intelligent annotation tools, an extensive symbol library and automatic BOMs associated with ballons and part properties.
Unify design standards across your team with customizations
Build your own templates with customizable border frames, part library, dimension styles, fonts, technical requirements, and more. By having unified standards from start to finish, every member of your team is on the same page in all projects.
Manage data and collaborate better through PLM integration
It can quickly achieve a high level of integration with popular PLM systems, such as Teamcenter® and Windchill®2. By integrating it into your existing system, you can manage your data more efficiently and collaborate with your team better.
Benefits of Using ZWCAD MFG
We conducted a comprehensive comparison between ZWCAD and ZWCAD MFG, using a hand pump as an example to perform common design tasks from drafting to detailing. The results revealed that ZWCAD MFG significantly boosted productivity by 51% compared to ZWCAD3.
