WHAT IT DOES

ZForm, in practice.

ZForm models exact boundary-representation solids. Build from primitives or Profiles sketches, modify faces and edges, and exchange solid geometry with CAD tools.

01

Sketch to solid

Use the companion Profiles extension for constrained sketches, then extrude, revolve, loft or sweep in ZForm.

02

Direct solid editing

Fillet and chamfer edges, push or pull faces, shell bodies, and combine solids with Boolean operations.

03

Editable feature structure

Parametric feature editing, sketch relationships and named parameters support design revisions.

04

CAD exchange

Import and export STEP, BREP and IGES; export STL and DXF for downstream workflows.
