Step 1: Model the outline of the slope reamer by using the 'Extrude' feature.įigure 7: The outline of the slope reamer

Introduce 'Taper' feature by modeling slope reamer Step 2: Change it into a helical gear, adjust its twist angle in the twist manager.įigure 6: Twist the straight gear using 'Twist' featureĪs shown above, in just a few steps, we can model a helical gear easily.įigure 6: U sing the “Twist ” feature to twist the straight gear Introduce 'Twist' feature by modeling helical gear. You can change its result by modify its parameters, including tube radius, outer radius, and rotate angle, greatly simplifying the bending process.įigure 4: Using the 'Toroidal Bend ' feature to bend the basal body

Step 2: Bend this part using the ' Toroidal Bend ' feature. Extrude it with 'ADD' boolean operation, then copy this part to finish the extended surface.įigure 3: The process of drawing the basal body of tireįigure 3: the processes of modeling the basal body

Step 1: Firstly, build a block then, draw a sketch on one face of the block. Introduce the 'Toroidal Bend' by modeling tire Step 2: Bend the cylinder using the new “Cylindrical Bend” feature, then you can make modifications on details by changing its parameters, including radius, angle, and rotate angle, significantly simplifying the bending process.įigure 2: U sing the “Cylindrical Bend” feature to bend the cylinderįigure 2: Bend the cylinder using 'Cylindical Bend ' feature Introduce the 'Cylindrical Bend' feature by modeling the doorknob in the hardware industry.

Let's see how this function can be applied to your daily design. In this article, the application of Flex Tools in industries like hardware, sheet metal, artwork and toys, will be introduced. The newly released edition, ZW3D 2014, is accompanied by lots of practical and handy improvements, and new features, like built-in translator, multiple insert component features,new Flex Tools and enhanced 2D drafting. ZW3D, a powerful and integrated CAD/CAM platform from ZWSOFT, possesses great functionality in 3D modeling.
