SANGO Thai Engineering & Manufacturing Co.,Ltd.（STEM）
Sango Co., Ltd. is an automotive parts manufacturer headquartered in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture. The company manufactures processed steel pipes, primarily for automotive parts such as mufflers and manifolds. In addition to 14 locations in Japan, the company has expanded into countries around the world, including the United States, Canada, China, India, and Mexico, and in 2020 established SANGO Thai Engineering & Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (STEM) in Thailand.Mr. Pattanapong Chaliawchalard
Please tell us about the work your company does.
Wellgrow has two locations in Thailand: the headquarters and the Banpho factory. The headquarters performs sheet metal pressing, pipe bending, and mold manufacturing, while the Banpho factory performs welding and assembly. The molds are sold not only for internal use but also to Honda and Toyota South Africa.
Wellgrow's headquarters was established in April 1996 as YS Pund Co., Ltd., and merged with Sango Thai Automotive Parts Co., Ltd. in July 2020, changing its name to its current name. It currently employs 700 people.
Please tell us about Chaliawchalard's work.
I work in the Engineering Department. This division includes specialized departments for molds, assembly, and QC (quality assurance). I belong to the ESI assembly group, where I review assembly methods before producing new parts (new models). Specifically, I check the proper placement of welds during assembly and, if there are any problems, I ask the customer to make corrections.

How did you know about "3DTascalX"?
What problems did you face before the implementation?
Our business partners mainly send us CATIA data. We have five copies of CATIA in-house, but we were short on licenses, and it's primarily used by the design department. So even if we wanted to view the data, we had to wait for a free session in the design department.
What was the deciding factor in purchasing "3DTascalX"?
The ability to read CATIA data was a major factor, but we also needed to read NX and JT files, so the ability to view all three types of data was the deciding factor. Another important point was that 3DTascalX could convert NX and JT data into intermediate data such as STEP and deploy it within the company.
What are the features you use most often?
Creating car lines and comparing shapes. This is extremely useful when creating assembly production instructions. It helps break down assembly data and create documents that specify component parts and assembly procedures.
We also use it to convert 3D data into 2D drawings, create car lines, and share them with the QA department. While car lines can be created in CATIA, only one license of CATIA has this functionality.
Design changes are frequent for new parts. When a customer notifies us of a change, we use 3DTascalX to compare shapes and create documents to share the changes internally. We also perform dimensional measurements, check cross sections, and change the color of each part.
What effects have you seen since the introduction?
By introducing 3DTascalX/Light to the purchasing and sales departments, they can now check 3D data themselves, eliminating the need to ask the engineering department. Previously, the engineering department would spend about an hour creating documents for each item, and sometimes we would have to wait several hours for the engineering department's CATIA to become available to confirm design changes. Now, these wait times are gone. Thanks to this, overtime has also decreased.
What do you expect from the future?
When loading STEP, surfaces that are hidden in CAD sometimes appear, so I'd like this to be improved. Also, when copying images from the 3D screen when creating documents, I'd like the background color to be white.
