ZWSoft, the developer of ZWCAD, ZW3D and ZWSIM software, is an important CAD/CAM/CAE software player with over 30 years of experience, 6 R&D centers and over 1,000 employees in the CAD/CAM market. It has 900,000 licensed users in over 90 countries around the world.
ZW3D is an integrated CAD/CAM/CAE software that covers the entire process of product development, with the fastest design base in Solid-Surface Hybrid operations, intelligent CNC strategy from 2-axis to 5-axis, and various analysis solutions.
ZW3D is used successfully in sectors such as Automotive, Molding, Machinery, as well as in the defense and aviation sectors.
ZWCAD is user-friendly 2D CAD software that offers professional solutions in the field of 2D design. For companies engaged in mechanical designs, ZWCAD Mechanical offers a complete solution. ZWCAD is used in almost every engineering and manufacturing sector all over the World.
ZWSIM is ZWsoft's innovative and powerful analysis solutions platform in the CAE world. With ZWSIM Meshworks, you can prepare high quality and easy mesh, with ZWSIM Structural you can perform structural analysis on your models and with ZWSIM EM you can perform electromagnetic field analysises.
Some of the companies working in the defense industry and using ZWCAD / ZW3D in the world are as follows: 
Gameco 
Gameco mainly deal with mechanical, electronic and plastic aircraft components which require highly accurate 3D simulation. GAMECO has selected ZW3D because of its high compatibility with 2D CAD and its smooth data communication. With the reduced number of features needed for creating models, designers can enjoy tighter interoperability when transforming drawings from 2D designs into 3D products with much greater integrity.

Stone Manganese Marine (SMM)
Stone Manganese Marine (SMM) is one of the leading manufacturers of large fixed propellers in the world. SMM has been involved in designing and manufacturing ship propellers for more than 100 years. SMM draws up a list of functionality that is required for the project including surface vectors, intersections, fitting accurate curves through propellers (the curve fitting must be absolutely accurate through all points), extending surfaces and intersecting surfaces. ZW3D offers the functionality required at a fraction of the cost of its competitors.

Jiangnan Shipyard 
Jiangnan Shipyard is one of the biggest commercial and military shipyards of China. Aircraft Carriers are also manufactured within the premises. Designers use ZWCAD in their 2D Designs and ZWCAD in their 3D designs.
Ulpower Aero Engines
In 2004, Russel Pescod, partner in ULPower Aero Engines (www.ulpower.com), was working on a helicopter project, and he was having a problem with the current engine because of a lack of power. They decided to design and build their own engine because they could control all the variables. With that decision made, Pescod began looking for a suitable CAD package to be used in designing the new aircraft engine. After much research he selected ZW3D. He says, “We chose ZW3D software for several reasons. One, we’re a small company with limited resources, so our choice had to be cost-effective. Two, ZW3D doesn’t skimp on performance; it had all the tools we needed, and then some. And finally, ZWSOFT was very supportive of what we planned to do.”
