PAQ

What PAQ does

PAQ (秉琮科技 / brand-name "PAQ") is a Taiwan-based, privately held CAD design value-added software and consulting company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Pingtung. The firm operates a three-pillar business built around the Creo CAD ecosystem: (1) proprietary Creo add-on tools — BomTool (物料清單輔助工具) for automated bill-of-materials generation with physical-attribute calculations and image export, Batch Variable Setting (批次設定變數) for standardizing component attributes, and Ball Mark Tool (球標輔助工具) for creating non-repeating balloon annotations with QC measurement exports; (2) authorized-agent resale and local service of AWS NICE's Desktop Cloud Visualization (DCV) and EnginFrame grid-portal products for Taiwan, enabling remote 2D/3D CAD/CAE workflows hosted on centralized GPU infrastructure; and (3) professional services including custom CAD software development, customized training courses, and expert model design services.

Underlying technology consists of Creo-integrated toolkits delivering workflow automation with stated quantifiable outcomes (e.g., 80% reduction in design errors, 76% improvement in design standardization, 90% reduction in BOM screenshot workload) and resold enterprise HPC/visualization infrastructure. The business model is a hybrid of software product sales (Creo add-ons), licensing margins from reselling NICE technology, and professional services revenue (consulting, training, custom development). GTM is consultative and direct, anchored by the company website, downloadable YouTube demo videos for product evaluation, and inbound contact via email ([email protected]). Target customers are manufacturing firms with CAD design departments seeking workflow acceleration, design-standardization, and remote 3D visualization — primarily domestic Taiwanese enterprises served through direct sales and a single-country reseller footprint.

Products and services

• Bill of Materials Tool (物料清單輔助工具 / BomTool) A CAD add-on tool that helps design engineers quickly generate accurate bill of materials (BOM) data and model images, reducing manual data entry errors and screenshot workload. Features include custom variable selection (material, part number), automatic physical calculations (weight, surface area, dimensions), model image files, and export formats (Excel, HTML).
• Batch Variable Setting Tool (批次設定變數工具 / Parameter Tools) An auxiliary tool for standardizing component models and accelerating attribute establishment. Features batch processing of multiple components, establishing initial variable values, and checking whether variable values comply with specifications.
• Ball Mark Tool (球標輔助工具 / BallMark Tool) A CAD add-on tool that helps design engineers quickly create non-repeating balloon annotations on engineering drawings and provides quality control departments with accurate measurement data. Features include automatic numbering, delete numbering, reset numbering, and export of balloon information.
• Desktop Cloud Visualization (DCV) An advanced remote visualization technology that enables users to remotely access 2D/3D interactive applications such as CAD and CAE through standard networks, leveraging high-end graphics cards, fast I/O performance, and large memory nodes hosted in public or private 3D clouds. Resold by PAQ as an authorized agent in Taiwan.
• EnginFrame A commercial grid portal that enables clients to access HPC clusters, data, licenses, batch and interactive applications through standard browsers. Built on Java, XML, and Web services, supporting efficient intranet/extranet access. Resold by PAQ as an authorized agent in Taiwan.
• Custom Software Development (客製化軟體開發) Professional consulting and custom CAD software development services where consultants listen to customer needs and provide customized recommendations and software development to enhance CAD workflows and product development quality.
• Training Courses (訓練課程) Customized CAD training courses designed to enhance users' CAD operational capabilities and application skills for specific products, helping customers improve their CAD operation capabilities.
• Model Design Services (模型設計服務) Expert CAD model construction services leveraging manufacturing and design experience to help clients establish production-ready models and shorten product design time.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Emerging players

• CADENAS: CADENAS provides CAD parts management and 3D component data solutions for manufacturers, intersecting with PAQ's BOM-tooling and design-automation workflow. Different angle, but the same manufacturer buyer.
• Kubotek3D: Kubotek3D provides CAD geometry and direct-modeling technology, intersecting with PAQ's CAD model design services and design automation. Comparable product category, different specialization.

Broad incumbents

• PTC: PTC is the maker of Creo, the platform on which all of PAQ's proprietary tools run. It is both the platform incumbent and a potential competitor if it chooses to natively bundle any of PAQ's add-on functionalities.
• Mastercam: Mastercam is a leading CAM software vendor for manufacturing, adjacent to PAQ's CAD-focused tooling. Comparable manufacturer-customer base and overlapping CAD/CAM workflow conversation.
• HP Anyware (Teradici): HP Anyware (formerly Teradici) competes head-to-head with AWS NICE DCV in remote graphics/visualization, the same enterprise capability PAQ resells via the NICE partnership.

Direct peers

• Tacton: Tacton sells configure-price-quote (CPQ) and design automation software into manufacturers, overlapping with PAQ's automation-for-design-engineers positioning. Comparable product category with similar enterprise-manufacturing buyer.
• Theorem Solutions: Theorem provides CAD translation, interoperability, and visualization tooling for manufacturing, overlapping with PAQ's CAD-integration development and DCV-driven 3D visualization offerings.
• Actify: Actify provides CAD visualization and viewing solutions for manufacturing enterprises, directly analogous to PAQ's DCV/EnginFrame remote 3D visualization practice. Same buyer, same problem space.
• Logopress: Logopress builds specialized CAD add-ons (notably for sheet metal) for SOLIDWORKS and other platforms, structurally identical to PAQ's role as a niche CAD add-on developer serving manufacturing design engineers.
• DriveWorks: DriveWorks provides design automation and rule-driven configuration tools for SOLIDWORKS, conceptually parallel to PAQ's BomTool and Batch Variable Setting for Creo. It is the closest functional peer in the CAD add-on automation niche.
