BESSEY Chose ZW3D for the Innovations of Clamps

ZW3D, one of the world’s leading suppliers of advanced CAD Software solutions for the manufacturing industry, today announced it has been chosen by BESSEY Tool GmbH & Co. KG (BESSEY), a long-established German manufacturer and provider of bright and stainless steels.

With 125 years of innovation and quality, BESSEY is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of professional hand tools in the field of clamping and cutting technology. It mainly serves the automotive industry, the mechanical engineering sector and the fastening technology industry in over 100 countries, with a portfolio of 1,600 clamping and cutting tools.

The Need

Even in purely mechanical hand tools without motors and electronics, the use of software in design is becoming increasingly important. As a company renowned for its impeccable craftsmanship, Bessey keeps investing in maximizing precision and durability, and it needed a 3D CAD/CAM platform for innovations in the manufacturing of tooling and metal shears.

The Solution

With thousands of different clamping and cutting tools, Bessey helps craftsmen and industrial companies cope with diversified tasks. Approximately 12,000 clamps are produced daily at Bessey. With ZW3D, an integrated design & CNC system distributed in Germany by Encee CAD-CAM Systeme, BESSEY has managed to shorten the design cycle from days to a few hours.

“We prefer an easy-to-learn program because it can help you work quickly with the old routine,” explained Hans Rösch, Head of R&D Department in BESSEY. As an integrated CAD / CAM system with Windows interface, ZW3D offers easy-handling and intelligent commands that facilitate many work processes. “The ZW3D 3D CAD is very functional with many easy-to-use and powerful features included,” added Rösch.

ZW3D is packed with the Solid-surface Hybrid Modeling technology to make all features feasible on both solids & surfaces, helping BESSEY flexibly design from ideas to final products. “Everyone has his own style of working,” said Uwe Bastian, Product Developer in FindTaps. “And these personal characteristics are well supported by ZW3D.”
