Hong Kong, Nov. 9, 2006
- 3D QuickTools Ltd. today announced the full implementation of
3DQuickPress, the leading 3D progressive die design solution, in
Defond’s tooling operation located in Hong Kong. Defond has been
the pioneer in applying computer-aided-design and manufacturing
technology to improve their product quality since mid 80’. Founded
in 1978 as a switch maker, Defond has developed into a major
supplier of switches and electronics to the appliance and consumer
electrics industries. Defond offers a wide range of high quality
and competitively priced products ranging from Switches, Solenoids,
to Printed Circuited Board Assemblies. In their production for
global OEMs, Defond used many progressive dies to make the precision
parts with over 100 stamping presses. Accelerating the design of
progressive stamping tools has been a challenge and they have been
searching for a better tool design solution in the last few years.
Back
to November, 2003, Defond has installed the first release of
3DQuickPress and tested it for two months. Understanding the
approaches and the limitations of the early release of 3DQuickPress,
Defond did not commit to change their tool design practice to 3D.
With many enhanced features of the software witnessed by many
3DQuickPress users in the local and overseas stamping companies,
Defond made an intensive study on the latest release of 3DQuickPress
in 2004. The first seat of 3DQuickPress was purchased in October,
2004 as their first system. “Defond has been monitoring the
progress of 3DQuickPress, we are serious about the usability of the
software and productivity it can bring to us. With the steady
progress in functions of 3DQuickPress, we decided to expand an
additional seat of 3DQuickPress to prepare ourselves to the rapid
tooling manufacturing cycle which today’s electrical industries
demand. Defond is committed to enhanced the design and manufacturing
capability to keep our leading role in the world competition, and to
bring the best value to our customers,” said Mr. S.H. Tang,
Engineering Director of Defond.
3DQuickPress development team will work closely with Defond to build
and enhance the features specific to Defond’s product nature as a
strategic customer. With the local support partner for
3DQuickPress, ICT will provide all the associated training and
support services to fulfill Defond’s technical need.
