They find it difficult to convert a drawing into a 3D object,” said Clement. “We have also been getting many enquiries from the solid wood furniture sector, especially contract manufacturers from Vietnam. In fact, PYTHA is excellent in low volume- high mix applications: 60 per cent of their customers are manufacturers providing customised outfitting for shops.

The software ensures easy drawing even for more complex furniture or customised pieces price quotations, bill of materials (BOM), cutting optimisation, labelling and estimated manufacturing time can be generated in an instant manual programming, one of the industry’s greatest pain points, is now a thing of the past as it becomes fully automated, freeing up manpower and time. Vietnamese and Thai language packs will be available soon.īeing an end-to-end product, flexibility is key and PYTHA aims to fulfil this requirement in every aspect.
It also claims to be the only CADCAM software that is available in multiple languages – Chinese, Korean, Bahasa Indonesia, on top of the standard European languages. An end-to-end software, it automates the design to production process. PYTHA is compatible with machines from most of the leading manufacturers.
PYTHA, A NEUTRAL AND HIGHLY VERSATILE CADCAM SOFTWARE It later evolved into the CAD system and was introduced to the woodworking market, adding many woodworking-centric functions and generators on-board the platform. Founded by husband and wife team, Willy and Uschi Flassig, PYTHA started out as a 3D drawing software to help architects visualise their drawings. The PYTHA brand, though, has been around for 36 years, with a strong foothold in the German and Australian market. Joining hands to build a start-up was only a matter of time. He had earlier worked at a local panel manufacturing company and was procuring machines for the company when he first met Clement, who happened to be the supplier.īeing equally driven and coupled with strong industry knowledge, Aaron and Clement saw immense potential in using software to help the regional woodworking industry reap huge benefits.
The workshop leveraged CNC machines and software for production. Aaron, who turns 30 this year, founded a carpentry company four years ago. “Aaron” and “Clement”, as most of their customers call them on their various chat groups – Whataspp in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, Viber in the Philippines, or Zalo in Vietnam-for after sales support, are young, and they are selling PYTHA with a start-up mentality and boundless zeal.ģ4-year-old Clement has been a woodworking machinery and dust control system supplier since 2010.
The speed at which PYTHA is penetrating the market and its success hit-rate is undeniably, and remarkably high. Within a year and a half, the two young men sealed deals with 65 woodworking companies – 35 companies from Singapore, and 30 from Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines and Korea. PYTHA 3D CADCAM, an established CADCAM software from Germany, was relatively unknown in South East Asia (SEA) until Aaron Boo and Clement Su, both from Singapore, clinched the sole distributorship in June 2017 to bring PYTHA to SEA.
