FABEST Corp Adopts ThinkDesign 3D CAD System Throughout

TOKYO, Japan, Feb 12, 2010 - Think3 Inc., the leading global provider of 3D CAD and PLM solutions, announced that FABEST Corporation has chosen ThinkDesign as its main 3D CAD system for metal stamping die design.

FABEST Corporation, headquartered in Ota, Gunma prefecture, Japan, has established an original process to shorten the Die Design and Production process called ‘parallel manufacturing.’ Adopting CAD/CAM/CAE tools, the Japanese company succeeded to shorten read time dramatically. Now, FABEST Corporation has many customers not only in Japan but also overseas. Under Globalization, the company has been facing the challenge to gain more efficiency in its process than ever. While selecting next 3D CAD system, FABEST Corporation realized that ThinkDesign provides the needed functions and performance to be used as its main CAD system. FABEST Corporation has adopted ThinkDesign in 3D model modification process, but within a year the company is going to adopt ThinkDesign in its Design Department and throughout its partners network.

Revolutionary change of Die Design process at FABEST Corporation

Mr. Hisashi Tajima, Managing Director at FABEST Corporation comments on why they chose ThinkDesign:

‘We had been using another 3D CAD solution in Design Process, but the solution could not be the only one candidate. We winnowed few candidates and checked the functions of their solutions before making a decision. I think that ThinkDesign is the best solution which has strengths like ‘Ease of use’, ‘Flexibility of License Management’ and ‘Powerful Functions.’ It is a simple solution that does not require us to buy optional licenses to make valid many functions. ThinkDesign has a user friendly GUI and commands. Another aspect is the data unification. We used ThinkDesign in the 3D model modification process. Adopting ThinkDesign in Design Process means that data format will be unified. This allows easy Design Data management.’

FABEST Corporation aims to be more globalized, so the company appreciated that ThinkDesign is the 3D CAD solution that is spread over the world, not only in Europe, US, but also Asia and other countries. Mr. Hiroyuki Narizuka, Chief Design Engineering Section, comments as follows:

‘At first, we had many candidates, such as design softwares specialized for Die Design and so on. On the occasion of the selection, we happened to be aware that one of our customers from overseas was using ThinkDesign in its Design process. This could be the reference. ‘Speed’ and ‘Ease of use’ govern efficiency of process. We checked these factors thoroughly. I think that ThinkDesign  executes each command fast enough. And pricing of ThinkDesign will allow us to buy other licenses easily when we need more in future.”

“In addition, I expect ThinkDesign to save time in the modification process too. We have been using much time on modification due to the substandard quality of 3D models from the design process. But ThinkDesign supplies us with high quality 3D Model, so we can save time on modification process by adopting ThinkDesign in design process.”

FABEST Corporation makes efforts every day to enhance and maintain its strength by adopting cutting edge solutions. FABEST Corporation will adopt ThinkDesign Engineering, ThinkDesign Tooling and DieDesign to establish its New Design Process.  Think3 is going to work with FABEST Corporation to establish optimized design process which can meet FABEST Corporation’s existing design and manufacturing standards.
