ZW3D has super fast geometry translators for importing nearly any type of file, including STL and image files (jpg, bmp, tif). Poor geometry will not stop ZW3D because of our support open shape modeling.

Import and Export 3D geometry fast and eliminate model repair time.

• • IGES: ZW3D supports the latest IGES standards and works seamlessly with non-solids.
• • STEP: Import AP 203 and 214 and export AP 203. STEP assembly/layer support.
• • Parasolid: ZW3D supports the latest parasolid libraries and properly exports ZW3D Assemblies to parasolid assemblies or bodies.
• • STL: STL files can be imported, modified and exported. Use the advanced design and CAM tools to surfaced or machined STL.
• • Images: Import and emboss images on model faces with ZW3D Designer or greater.
• • Force heal: Forces a best match from open edges to achieve a solid when possible

Fast 2D to 3D model conversion or Maintain old 2D DWG files with ZW3D

• • Import and Export of 2D DWG
• • Uses the latest DWGdirect™ library from open DWG Alliance.
• • Handles Unicode (doublebyte characters) which is primarily found in Asian DWG translations.
• • Accurate layer, color, hatching and ACAD Font support
• • Users can specify the units of measure to import a DWG file.

Convert images to 3D Models

• • Import 2D Images (jpg, tif, bmp) into sketches
• • Accurate raster to vector conversion with a minimum entities
• • Convert curves to lines and arcs with complete continuity control
• • 2D gap checking
