From wood-grading machines to other specialized wood-processing equipment, SCS’s commitment to innovation and precision has earned them a solid reputation in the market.
Design Uniqueness and Efficiency: A Challenge for Customization
As a manufacturer focused on custom-built woodworking machinery, SCS faced several key challenges. They required a highly versatile CAD system capable of adapting to each project’s unique and complex needs. Given the custom nature of their products, SCS often encountered repetitive design tasks that needed to be manually adjusted, which slowed down their workflow and increased the risk of errors. Moreover, the small team size meant that cost management was essential. Traditional CAD with their high licensing fees posed a significant financial burden, limiting SCS's ability to invest in the tools they needed to maintain their competitive edge.
SCS proceeds with the wood machine design process in ZW3D
To overcome these obstacles, SCS turned to ZW3D. which offers exactly what SCS needed: a powerful, yet cost-effective, system that could streamline their workflow, reduce the burden of repetitive tasks, and improve overall efficiency.
Efficiently Streamlined Machine Design in ZW3D: From Concept to Launch
ZW3D provided SCS with a suite of standardized solutions that seamlessly integrated into their existing workflow, enabling them to overcome their challenges and achieve new productivity levels. ZW3D has brought consistency and reliability to every stage of the design and production process.
ZW3D’s design tools allows SCS to rapidly model client workshops and create detailed arrangement plans that could be easily shared with clients through HTML exports, which has made it simpler for clients to review and approve designs, even if they didn’t have CAD software themselves.

ZW3D’s standardized design capabilities are particularly valuable during the detailed design phase. The specialized tools for sheet metal and structure design drastically reduced the time spent on repetitive tasks. This not only increased efficiency but also ensured a high level of accuracy and consistency across all projects.

The inclusion of a comprehensive standard parts library, along with access to third-party libraries like PARTsolutions, Traceparts, and MISUMI, provides quick access to the components SCS needed, further streamlining the engineering process.
Moreover, ZW3D’s integrated FEA simulation tools allows SCS to quickly perform structural analyses, ensuring that their designs met the necessary durability standards, which has helped SCS to maintain the high quality of their custom machines while reducing the risk of costly errors during production.
The ZW3D’s Auto Drafting tools provides a significant improvement for SCS. What once was a labor-intensive process—creating detailed 2D drawings for over 500 components—became much more efficient with ZW3D. The ability to batch generate these drawings not only saved time but also ensured that all components were produced to the exact specifications required.

ZW3D: Standardized Solutions Fueling Innovation and Growth
Since adopting ZW3D’s standardized solutions, SCS has seen a clear boost in efficiency—up by 50%—which has empowered the team to tackle more projects and deliver top-quality products at a faster pace. This increase in productivity has helped SCS stay competitive in the woodworking machinery market. In addition, SCS has also managed to cut costs by 30%, thanks to ZW3D’s budget-friendly licensing and efficient workflow.
ZW3D’s standardized solutions have proven to be a transformative force for SCS. As they look to the future, SCS is well-equipped to build on this success, continuing to innovate and deliver exceptional products that meet the evolving needs of their clients.
