“Engineering designs today focus more on productivity and efficiency than ever before. Introducing the tailor-made TraceParts community for ZW3D 2012 will greatly benefit users,” stated Colin Lin, Technical Manager of ZW3D. “In this community, users will be able to access millions of native 3D model parts. Meanwhile, this community, or let’s say the part library, will be constantly updated so that users will be able to access the latest parts.”

To access the new part library in ZW3D 2012, just click on the Application tab on the Ribbon panel or simply go to www.tracepartsonline.net/ws/ZW3D. Here users will easily find the ZW3D-TraceParts community offering over 100 million 3D CAD models & 2D drawings, including both industry standard parts and products from hundreds of manufacturers' catalogs used by the tooling, machinery, aerospace and automotive industries. With the abundance of designed engineering parts and the advanced CAD CAM capabilities of ZW3D 2012, engineers will find themselves able to go beyond 3D to Digital Prototyping by being able to design, visualize, and simulate products before they are ever built.

"We are very happy to see TraceParts seamlessly integrated into ZW3D 2012, the all-in-one, affordable CAD CAM solution," said Gabriel Guigue, TraceParts Managing Director. "Time to market is crucial to ZW3D customers, and we know that over 80% of CAD models that a mechanical designer adds to his parts list are later purchased. This is why we strongly believe the introduction of TraceParts into ZW3D 2012 will surely help ZW3D customers sharpen their design productivity while maximizing the market exposure of our catalogs."
