In today’s fast-paced engineering world, most professionals aim to quickly build and manage their own custom parts libraries. The new "Feature Configuration" function in 3D CAD software not only allows engineers to create personalized part libraries but also empowers designers to modify parameters based on existing designs, enabling rapid development of new products. For items with similar structures, this feature significantly boosts design efficiency. A great example is the design of a watch, where changing dimensions can lead to the creation of a new product from an original design.
Let’s take a watch as an example to explore how 3D CAD's feature configuration can streamline the design process:
1. First, complete the modeling of a standard watch and create a feature configuration table for it.
2. Right-click on the blank space in the feature tree and select “Create Configuration†from the shortcut menu.
3. Enter the configuration name and proceed.
After creating the configuration, all newly generated configuration tables are stored under the “Part Configuration†folder.
Next, you can edit the configuration table and add feature size variables. For instance, if we want to change the outer diameter of the watch case, we can add a variable for that dimension. Let's say we want to create two versions: one with a 45mm diameter and another with 40mm.
1. Select a configuration from the list and right-click to choose “Edit.â€
2. Click “Add Feature,†then select “Sketch†as the dimension change feature and define the variable.
3. After setting up the variables, click “Apply†to save your changes.
Finally, you can quickly design by double-clicking on the desired configuration in the configuration folder to activate it.
The new "Feature Configuration" feature in 3D CAD 2014 helps reduce design steps, lowers the workload for engineers, and improves overall product design efficiency. It’s one of the standout features of the latest version. To help users better understand and utilize these new tools, Zhongwang 3D launched the “Teaching Teacher 3D†platform, where experts answer questions online and assist users in mastering 3D design effectively. Additionally, the 3D Industrial Innovation Design Competition is ongoing, with simple registration and submission procedures. Any Z3 format file from Zhongwang 3D can qualify for prizes like an iPad Air and 3K cash rewards.

Submersible turbine pumps are designed to function while submerged in water. According to WaterWorld.com, “Submersible motor vertical turbine pumps use a submersible motor coupled to the lower portion of a submerged vertical turbine pump so that both are located together in the well.”
