To fulfill this mission, ZWSOFT has been concentrating on developing core CAD technologies for 23 years. At the summit, the ZWSOFT technical team presented the latest achievements of all-in-one CAx. For ZWCAD, user experience and design efficiency will still be the priorities; for ZW3D, the robustness of the self-developed 3D geometric modeling kernel will be enhanced, capabilities such as high continuity level curve and surface, large assembly, and multi-feature parametric design will be optimized, and iterations according to the feedback from customers will be incorporated; for the ZWSim series (ZWSim-EM/ZWSim Structural/ZWMeshWorks), various techniques for CAE solving, pre- and post-processing will be continuously enhanced to realize simulation-driven design.

ZWSOFT delivered the determination and substantial progress in providing better all-in-one CAx solutions that satisfy the whole-process needs of design, simulation, and manufacturing or construction of different industries.

Meanwhile, ZWSOFT has been researching into cutting-edge CAx technologies and promoting the development of Project Wukong, a high-end 3D CAD graphics platform specialized for large-scale engineering projects. Being cloud-native and greatly extensible, this platform will also enable easy deployment, concurrent collaboration, massive assemblies, and custom applications.
