PT YPTI Boosts Product Development Efficiency with ZW3D's Advanced Design Capabilities

Founded in 1999, PT Yogya Presisi Teknikatama Industri (PT YPTI) has grown into one of Indonesia’s leading manufacturing companies, specializing in precision parts, jigs and fixtures, mold making, and plastic injection molding. Renowned for its comprehensive R&D and prototyping services, PT YPTI leverages state-of-the-art CNC machines to deliver consistently high-quality products, ensuring exceptional customer satisfaction. The company’s advanced reverse engineering capabilities further enhance its ability to transform complex concepts into precision-crafted final products.

Exterior Landscape of PT YPTI Company

Over the years, PT YPTI has achieved significant milestones, establishing itself as a trusted partner for OEMs across various industries. The company is celebrated for its rapid service and superior product development, underpinned by a deep commitment to integrity, ethical practices, and employee empowerment. The Company’s mission is to create value-added products that offer enduring quality and substantial benefits to customers, society, and the nation. By continually refining its technical capabilities and embracing cutting-edge digital strategies, PT YPTI maintains a competitive edge in product quality, cost efficiency, and pricing.

Gaining a Competitive Edge with ZW3D

PT YPTI operates across multiple domains; each presenting unique challenge and demands. Initially, the design engineering team utilized a popular 3D CAD software that, while well-known in the industry, proved inefficient as the company began handling a vast array of product variants across sectors. The increasingly complex product development process, characterized by short lead times, revealed the limitations of the previous CAD software. The company invested not only in expensive software licenses but also in costly hardware to ensure smooth operation. Despite training the team extensively, the software's inefficiencies hindered product development, leading to difficulties in meeting client demands and challenges in opening shared files.

The combination of inefficient 3D design tools and growing client demands placed a significant burden on the design team. As PT YPTI faced high-quality requirements and tight deadlines, the company realized the need for a more efficient solution. Hiring additional licenses, staff or upgrading hardware on short notice was not feasible, prompting PT YPTI to seek alternative software that could handle performance issues and support its comprehensive solutions.

During Hannover Messe 2022, the PT YPTI team discovered ZW3D at the ZWSOFT booth. Impressed by a brief demonstration of its capabilities, decided to try the software. The results were transformative—ZW3D accelerated the product development process and quickly became the company’s primary CAD tool.

Streamlining Multi-Domain Design Workflows with ZW3D

The need for versatile design software became paramount. "Design workflows for each domain require specialized software modules," explains Prasetyo Yulianto Paulus, Production Director at PT YPTI. "ZW3D’s advanced features enable our design engineers to efficiently execute complex designs across sectors, which has been crucial in winning new orders and impressing our customers with our efficiency and accuracy."

ZW3D has become PT YPTI’s exclusive system for mold design, offering a range of process automation tools that streamline workflows from part design to tool validation. The software’s step-by-step mold design process integrates advanced automation with industry expertise, managing the entire workflow with features such as high-quality data import, smart model healing, unique non-solid mold parting, and practical electrode design. ZW3D’s ability to dynamically associate mold designs with part designs allows PT YPTI’s designers to quickly adapt to any design changes, ensuring efficiency and precision throughout the process.

Additionally, ZW3D’s multi-CAD support significantly enhances PT YPTI’s operational efficiency. The software enables the team to read, edit, and save files from customers and suppliers in various formats, reducing re-engineering costs and maximizing data reuse. This flexibility is particularly valuable in the automotive sector, where complex requirements demand a high degree of adaptability. ZW3D’s intuitive user interface, robust functionality in sheet metal operations, and ability to handle large assemblies have further empowered PT YPTI’s engineers to meet these challenges with confidence.

With ZW3D, the design team can work more efficiently and accurately. "ZW3D has significantly reduced our design time," says Prasetyo Yulianto Paulus. "The software is lightweight, runs optimally on our existing hardware, and offers versatile design approaches that we find extremely useful. ZW3D is highly responsive, allowing us to manage various parts with ease. Its solid, surface, and assembly tools, which support both parametric and direct modelling, are particularly user-friendly for our team."
