ZW3D is an advanced 3D CAD/CAM software developed by ZWSOFT, a leading provider of CAD/CAM solutions. The software is designed to provide an all-in-one solution for product design, manufacturing, and simulation, making it ideal for small and medium-sized businesses.
ZW3D supports a wide range of file extensions, including DWG, DXF, SAT, IGES, STEP, and STL, among others. This allows for easy import and export of files from other CAD software, enabling seamless collaboration with suppliers and customers.
One of ZW3D's key strengths is its interoperability. It can open and modify files from other CAD software without the need for converters or third-party add-ons. This includes native files from popular CAD software such as SolidWorks, Inventor, and CATIA, among others. Additionally, ZW3D can export to a wide range of file formats, including STEP, IGES, STL, and 3D PDF, making it easy to share designs with customers and suppliers who may be using different CAD software.
The file formats supported by ZW3D software are: DWG, DXF, SAT, IGES, STEP, STL, 3D PDF, Parasolid, SolidWorks, CATIA, Pro/E, Inventor, NX, JT, ACIS, and more.

ZW3D's CAD interoperability capabilities also extend to CAM software. It can easily transfer CAD data to ZW3D CAM, allowing users to generate tool paths and G code for CNC machines. This eliminates the need for manual data entry and reduces the risk of errors, thereby improving efficiency and productivity.
CAD Interop distributes several software programs to view and convert ZW3D files. Below is a list of our solutions compatible with ZW3D:
