In addition to these accessible CAD/CAE/CAM products, Xi Chen, Project Wukong Lead Developer, unveiled Project Wukong for the first time. “Wukong platform is aimed to support cross-disciplinary applications, such as AEC and shipbuilding. It’s not just a simple upgrade of ZW3D, but a brand-new platform, and it is part of our All-in-One CAx strategy. In the next 10 to 15 years, we are going to develop ZW3D and Wukong in parallel. ZW3D will cater to the demands of the manufacturing industry, while Wukong will fulfill the needs of the large-scale projects like large ships, aircraft, buildings, etc.”
