Applicad Public Company Limited (hereinafter referred to as "AppliCAD") has developed mainly in design and development using 3D CAD "Solidworks" . The company now offers a wide range of 3D solutions, including not only software sales and support, but also sales of industrial 3D printers and 3D scanners.
YN2-TECH (THAILAND) CO., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as “YN2”) exhibited at “AppliCAD's 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS Day 2023”, a private exhibition held at BITEC on October 7, 2022.
We interviewed Mr. Krirkrit of AppliCAD about the recommended solutions and the partnership between the two companies.
"We started interacting with YN2 about seven years ago. Already that time, we have had many Japanese customers interested in our products and solutions, and we wanted to respond to the demand from Japanese companies. However, due to the language barrier, we were not fully grasping the demand, so we partnered with YN2, which facilitated the establishment of relationships with Japanese companies.”
AppliCAD sees its strengths as follows.
✔ Product lineups that meet customer needs and staff with the expertise to accompany them
✔ Communication with customers both online and offline
⇒ AppliCAD introduced online business meetings and customer interactions from an early stage, and utilizes both on/off-line according to customer demand.
For example, it holds CAD design contests to build relationship with users on a regular basis.
One of the goals of this private exhibition was to deepen the communication with customers (software users) and promote relationship building.
The theme of the exhibition, "CONNEXT", means to reconnect the relationship with users in the post-pandemic era. With this background, the exhibition was held in a hybrid format, using both online and offline.
"We have been holding the exhibition every year, but in recent years we have had to postpone it due to the impact of the pandemic.
The theme of this year's event, "CONNEXT," reflects our wish to reconnect suppliers and users as they were before the pandemic. In organizing this event, we were aware that there are many customers who are seeking to implement solutions but are unsure of how to do so or what products are best suited for their needs.
It is important for us to understand the problems and demands of our customers. We are not just a sales company, but we aim to be ‘a partner that solves problem’ for our customers," says Mr. Krirkrit.
In the past few years, the demand for 3D printers and 3D scanners in automotive parts and mold manufacturing has been increasing.
We introduce the following two products for which AppliCAD is the distributor in Thailand.
■ Stratasys 3D printers
An American manufacturer of 3D modeling machines and 3D printers that boasts the top share in the 3D printer industry.
The company developed the world's first 3D printer using patented 3D printing technology based on the FDM method (Fused Deposition Modeling method). Including pending applications, the company has acquired more than 600 patents related to AM (Additive Manufacturing) worldwide.
A leading global AM Solution Company.
"In the future, we would like to work together with YN2 to visit customer sites and provide services. This is because AM-related products are relatively prone to have on-site problems and malfunctions. There are limits to what customers can do to solve on their own, and in many cases, the underlying problems remain unresolved. We encourage customers to consult with YN2 and us, AppliCAD, about the problems they are having. I am confident that we can provide solutions that will lead to solving the problem." (Mr. Krukrit of AppliCAD)
