China's Newamstar Selects ZW3D for Packaging Machinery

GUANGZHOU, China, Jul 27, 2016 - ZW3D, the world's leading supplier of advanced CAD/CAM solutions for the manufacturing industry, announced that it was chosen by Newamstar Packaging Machinery Co., Ltd. (Newamstar), an expert and leader in China's high-end liquid (beverage) packaging machinery industry.

Newamstar is the only enterprise that has mastered the medium-temperature canning and aseptic cold filling technologies in China, trusted by such international beverage brands as Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, Danone, C’estbon & Aoke from over 70 countries and regions including Europe, Southeast Asia, Middle East, America and Africa.

The Need 

Newamstar understood the significant role of CAD/CAM in the packaging machinery industry. To win competitive edge and enlarge international influence, they needed reliable, intelligent and easy-to-use 3D software with comprehensive and customized support.

The Solution

After a thorough evaluation, Newamstar finally decided to purchase over 100 sets of ZW3D with regular updates, in a bid to design packaging machines and blow molding machines for the production of liquid bottles and mechanical parts.

Empowered by the unique Overdrive kernel, ZW3D delivers Newamstar an integrated CAD/CAM solution based on the solid-surface hybrid modelling technologies, allowing them to design packages with high-quality surface and creative style.

“ZW3D’s design functionalities are on a par with mainstream 3D CAD software. More than that, its intelligent & user-friendly workflow greatly helps improve modelling efficiency,” commented Mr. Li, CAD Engineer from Newamstar.

Plus, with built-in Show-n-Tell system in ZW3D, the learning-curve has been greatly shortened. Utilising the embedded file translator, Newamstar can leverage their existing 2D data and adopt ZW3D with minimum investment of time.

The customized and timely technical support is another key reason for Newamster to choose ZW3D. After the order was confirmed, ZW3D sent an on-site training team specially for Newamster, assisting their engineers from various departments to quickly master ZW3D.

Delcam to Host ArtCAM Express Webinars on Aug 13, Sep 17

BIRMINGHAM, UK, July 22, 2015 - Delcam is to hold two webinars demonstrating the latest version of its ArtCAM Express artistic CADCAM software; the first on 13th August and the second on 17th September. 

ArtCAM Express offers 2D drawing, over 600 free pieces of relief clipart, and 2D and standard 3D machining functions, all for US$149, £99 or 125 Euros. It provides an ideal introduction to computer-based manufacturing for companies and hobbyists involved in engraving, routing and sign-making, or other areas of decorative metalworking and woodworking. A range of modules are available to add extra design and machining functionality.Functionality to be highlighted in the webinars includes powerful tools for the editing of vectors and new options for the creation of more complex 3D designs. 

To register for both the events, visit www.artcam.com/events.asp. The same web page also has links to recordings of previous webinars on ArtCAM Express held earlier this year.

Delcam Offers Add-on Modules for ArtCAM Express

BIRMINGHAM, UK, Mar 10, 2015 - Delcam has introduced four new modules for ArtCAM Express, the company’s entry-level software for engraving, sign making and woodworking that is priced at $149, £99 or 125 Euros. Like the ten add-on modules that were already available, these new options allow users to upgrade their capabilities to match their specific needs at a lower cost than would be required to move to the more powerful ArtCAM Insignia or ArtCAM Pro programs.

ArtCAM Express is the entry-level version in the range of artistic CADCAM software offered by Delcam. It includes 2D drawing, over 600 free pieces of relief clipart, and 2D and standard 3D machining functions. For more information, visit www.artcam.com/express.

The first of the new options is the tool-path-panelling module that allows larger jobs to be divided into sections for machining and reassembly once cut. With the bevel-carving module, a hand-carved look with beveled edges can be added to frames, molds or signs. Multiple items with different text on the same underlying design can be created with the multi-plate module using data from text or CSV files. Finally, the new fluting module allows ramping moves in and out of the material to create grooves or textured surfaces. This uses the vectors together with the geometry and motion of the cutting tool.

At the same time, the existing modules for advanced 2D machining and nesting have been enhanced to allow bridges associated with a group of vectors to be amended simultaneously, while the vector-tools module has a new option whereby vector layers can be preserved when a selection of vectors are copied and pasted.
