ZWCAD 2008i - Unrivalled Cost / Performance Drafting Solutions
Owen Zi
The advanced technology of 3D software has demonstrated its power in designing complicated products for years. So you may ask – Is there still a requirement for 2D technology in the plastic & rubber industry today? The answer is undoubtedly - Yes. 2D technology is still very important and necessary to a wide range of customers.

Prototype injection moulding design is a common task in plastic/rubber-based manufacturing. Injection moulding is a conventional mechanical design branch of the industry and these design requirements can typically be fulfilled with 2D technology. With 2D software tools, engineers can rapidly design manufacturing moulds for products with simple and regular geometries. Why use 2D? Speed and cost are two obvious benefits of using 2D software at this stage of the design process - 2D software costs a fraction of 3D whilst still offering powerful drafting features for fast design turnaround. In addition, it offers the portability to migrate to 3D, should the need arise.

As a 2D CAD platform, ZWCAD provides a comprehensive, powerful and easy-to-use set of drafting tools through which conventional plastic and rubber design tasks can be achieved. Based on latest IntelliCAD and OpenDWG technology, ZWCAD is designed to give unrivaled compatibility with DWG format, ZWCAD's native file format. ZWCAD can read, save and edit the files produced by AutoCAD® and vice versa.

ZWCAD is a powerful solution for designers who need full DWG native file format compatibility. The GUI and workflow of ZWCAD is comparable to that of AutoCAD®, making it a simple if not seamless task for design engineers to continue working in a familiar drafting environment. Furthermore, ZWCAD provides advanced APIs, i.e. DRX (similar to ARX), SDS (equivalent to ADS), LISP, and VBA so that designers can easily develop and integrate their own applications.

Developed by ZWCAD Software Co., Ltd. (www.zwcad.org), ZWCAD has been proving competitive in over 65 countries, with more than 100, 000 users throughout the world. With the aim of providing the most powerful and cost effective CAD solutions and to build on a reputation of quality and exceptional performance, ZWCAD has been committed to continuing that growth for 10 years.
