Why Zel X Advanced?

Give your team the tools they need to respond to customers quickly, collaborate on quote requests and mock-up design proposals—without having to call the design office. The flexible design capabilities of Zel X can be used as a standalone solution or as an integrated complement to your existing CAD tools.

With 500 GB of included storage plus an additional 5 GB per license, pooled across your team, you can share even the largest files from anywhere, securely. And browser-based access means that you can use your existing hardware—including Windows PCs, Chromebooks, MacBooks, iPads, Androids, iPhones and tablets. Get your team up to speed immediately, without spending precious budget on infrastructure or IT support.

Create a wider variety of product types and choose from different modeling approaches

Both designers and sales engineers can quickly create designs, modify existing models and make changes to proposals, with easy-to-use CAD tools matched to their abilities.

Plan, execute, track and communicate shop operations

Get a clear view of manufacturing tasks, both at the operator work-list level and status across the shop floor.

Manage and collaborate on product data more efficiently

Easily view and update the lifecycle status of the files in your projects.

Test and validate designs before they are physically built

Reduce risk and avoid recalls with design testing at the speed of the cloud.

Spend less time programming and more time machining

With model-based CAM you reduce manufacturing errors without slowing down production.
