01
Sketch & Extrude
Draw 2D profiles, then extrude, revolve, loft, and sweep into solid models.
Zorin Platform Zorin3D™ CAD
Professional parametric CAD for mechanical design, assemblies, and manufacturing-ready geometry—running in the browser.
Overview
What is Zorin3D CAD
Zorin3D CAD is a browser-based professional CAD system for parametric solid modeling and mechanical product design. It provides an industrial design workspace for parts, assemblies, and manufacturing-oriented deliverables without requiring a traditional desktop install.
Engineers use Zorin3D to develop machine components, enclosures, fixtures, and fabrication-ready geometry, then continue into the wider Zorin platform for layout, motion, control, analytics, and assistance.
Browser-based professional CAD
Run a full modeling workspace from a modern browser, with optional install for offline factory use.
Parametric solid modeling
Dimension-driven sketches and features keep parts editable as design requirements change.
Mechanical design & assemblies
Build multi-part assemblies with constraints for fit, structure, and industrial product development.
Manufacturing-ready CAD
Produce drawings and open formats such as STEP, IGES, and STL for fabrication and downstream tools.
Engineering collaboration platform
Connect design work to BuildSpace, ZorinMotionAI, Zorin Logic, Z Analytics, and Zorin Assistant.
Capabilities
Key Features
Core modeling tools for parts, assemblies, sheet metal, documentation, and shared libraries.
02
Assembly Modeling
Combine multiple parts, apply constraints, and verify fit before production.
03
Sheet Metal Design
Unfold bends, generate flat patterns, and export for CNC bending.
04
Technical Drawings
Generate 2D drawings with dimensions, annotations, and BOM tables.
05
Standard Parts Library
Access nuts, bolts, bearings, aluminium profiles, and related hardware.
06
Real-Time Collaboration
Shared model editing with live updates is on the product roadmap.

Process
How It Works
A straightforward path from blank document to manufacturing output.
Open Zorin3D in your browser or install as a PWA.
Start a new part or choose a template.
Sketch a profile, add dimensions, and extrude.
Add features such as holes, fillets, and patterns.
Assemble multiple parts with constraints.
Generate 2D drawings and export for manufacturing.
Zorin Platform
Ecosystem Integration
Zorin3D is the design layer of the Zorin engineering stack. Models move from CAD into layout, motion, control, operations, and assisted analysis.
BuildSpace
Arrange assemblies on factory layouts and configure workstation geometry.
ZorinMotionAI
Animate mechanisms and validate motion paths against designed hardware.
Zorin Logic
Program and control equipment tied to the mechanical system you modeled.
Z Analytics
Operate and monitor production systems that originate from CAD design.
Zorin Assistant
Query design intent, documentation, and engineering context across the platform.
Zorin3D CAD
Author parametric parts and assemblies that feed every downstream application.
Model in Zorin3D. Arrange in BuildSpace. Animate in ZorinMotionAI. Control with Zorin Logic. Operate with Z Analytics. Understand with Zorin Assistant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an internet connection?
Only for first load. After that, Zorin3D works offline as a PWA.
What file formats can I export?
STL, STEP, IGES, OBJ, and DXF for drawings. Native Z3D format keeps full parametric history.
Can I import existing models?
Yes. Import STEP, IGES, and STL files to modify or integrate into assemblies.
How does it integrate with BuildSpace?
Export your assembly and place it directly on a factory layout in BuildSpace.
