CAD solutions expansion into Asia
with Shanghai and Beijing offices
CAD Partner Technologies has
expanded its presence in the Asian
market with two new offices, in Shanghai
and Beijing. The software company now
has a total of four locations in Hong
Kong and China.
As part of the expansion, two training
centres for the new offices were opened.
The training programme consists of
training for plant design in 3D with
Smap3D Plant Design and working in
P&ID and Isometrics.
Kin-Chuen Kan is responsible for the
management of the new offices and the
implementation of the training. He has
worked for CAD Partner for several
years, and his leadership of the first two
branches in Asia has paved the way for
the expansion.
CAD Partner GmbH is an international
software manufacturer focusing on
simplified connection to CAD systems,
including its self-developed Smap3D
product family and Smap3D Plant
Design solution. Founded in 1989, the
company has had a presence in the
Asian market with its own branches
since 2013.
As the need for support and training
increased with each new customer,
Maxim Lich, vice president of global
sales, gave the green light for the
opening of the new branches and two
training centres:
“With a local presence, we want
to further expand and intensify our
customer support. In particular, the
new offices and training facilities give
us the opportunity to offer an improved
and comprehensive service for new
customers.”
Smap3D Plant Design provides
three components in a single software
solution for an integrated process chain:
Smap3D P&ID, Smap3D Piping and
Smap3D Isometrics.
Depending on the individual require-
ments, the programs specialised for
each process step can be flexibly
adapted.
Smap3D Plant Design transfers
previously generated information and
data via automatic connections between
the individual programs: separate
export or import is not necessary.
At the same time, Smap3D Plant
Design enables centralised and
unique – as well as company- and
project-specific – definition of pipe
classes.
With pipe classes, the conformity of
components such as valves or fittings
is defined to pipe characteristics such
as diameter or medium.
