Recently, Mr. Huang Tao, the Technical Director of Zhongwang 3D China, shared his insights in an interview regarding the challenges and future of full 3D application in China's manufacturing industry. His comments reflect both the progress made and the long road ahead. Here’s a detailed summary of his thoughts:
Huang Tao is a seasoned professional with extensive experience in mold design and CAD/CAE/CAM/PLM systems. He has over eight years of hands-on experience in 3D software implementation and has provided technical support to numerous enterprises and research institutions. His work focuses on promoting and developing local 3D software solutions across China.

1. Many companies have adopted 3D design software, but their application levels vary widely. What should companies do to ensure effective use of 3D design software?
In Huang Tao’s view, the key to successful 3D application lies in understanding the company's own product development needs and the specific problems they aim to solve through 3D CAD. A good 3D CAD system must be selected based on the company’s actual requirements. Once the right software is chosen, it's essential to implement top-down management strategies and plan the adoption process according to the company's unique situation. Clear leadership and proper technical resources are necessary to ensure that 3D CAD is fully integrated into daily operations.
2. Why is the adoption of 3D CAD slow in many enterprises? What are some mature standards for 3D technology, and how should companies begin creating their own?
Huang pointed out that the development of 3D technical specifications and standards can greatly enhance the adoption of 3D CAD. While national standards like GB/T 25108-2010 exist, they tend to be broad and not deeply applicable for most companies. Due to the differences between various 3D CAD platforms, it's challenging to create universal standards. Therefore, he recommends that companies develop internal standards tailored to their specific 3D CAD tools and workflows, possibly in collaboration with their software suppliers.
3. After adopting 3D CAD, many companies still face issues with 2D document interaction and reliance on legacy 2D files. How can this problem be addressed?
The main causes, according to Huang, are the coexistence of 3D and 2D systems and the lack of integration between them. Some companies use separate 2D and 3D software, leading to inconsistencies and inefficiencies. To resolve this, companies should make full use of the built-in 2D functions in 3D software rather than relying on external 2D tools. This ensures better data synchronization and reduces errors during design changes.
4. How can advanced design methods like modular design help in achieving a fully 3D workflow and improve efficiency and customer satisfaction?
Modular design involves grouping product elements into functional subsystems that can be reused across different models. This approach reduces development time and costs. However, it requires the right 3D software with modular design capabilities. Companies must invest in both the right tools and the training needed to leverage these features effectively.
5. What is the ultimate goal of full 3D application, and how close is China’s manufacturing industry to paperless workshops and digital factories?
Full 3D application goes beyond just design—it encompasses the entire product lifecycle, including production, manufacturing, and management. While a few companies have reached this level, most are still far from it. The transition to paperless workshops and digital factories requires strong leadership, robust IT infrastructure, and significant investment in both software and hardware. For China’s growing manufacturing sector, this journey remains a long one.
In conclusion, while 3D technology has made great strides, the path to full integration in China’s manufacturing industry is still ongoing. With the right strategies, tools, and commitment, the future looks promising—but it will take time and effort to get there.
