**BANGKOK, May 25, 2016** — The National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA), under the Ministry of Science and Technology, and Autodesk have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to enhance Thailand’s manufacturing competitiveness by promoting the adoption of advanced 3D technologies and digital manufacturing solutions across industries.
Dr. Pichet Durongkaveroj, Minister of Science and Technology, emphasized that Thailand must transition from a "Thailand 3.0" model to a "Thailand 4.0" vision to move toward a high-income economy driven by innovation rather than traditional performance-based growth. He highlighted that Industry 4.0 technologies, especially digital tools, will play a key role in this transformation by enabling direct consumer-to-manufacturer connectivity, reducing the reliance on large-scale factories as a competitive advantage.
“This partnership with global leaders like Autodesk will empower local SMEs to integrate digital tools into their design and production processes, while also developing the skills of Thai professionals for future manufacturing demands,†Dr. Pichet added. He noted that the initiative aligns with national priorities such as biotechnology, renewable energy, engineering, and the creative economy.
The collaboration aims to establish a “Digital Manufacturing Platform†to support Thailand’s National Digital Economy Master Plan. This platform will provide up to 100,000 engineers and vocational professionals with three years of access to Autodesk’s 3D design, simulation, and collaboration tools through a subscription model.
Dr. Thaweesak Koanantakool, President of NSTDA, said, “Digital manufacturing is essential for economic growth. By leveraging Autodesk’s technologies, local businesses can accelerate innovation and improve collaboration, supporting Thailand’s broader digital transformation goals.â€
Key components of the platform include Autodesk Fusion 360 and A360 Team. Fusion 360 combines CAD, CAM, and CAE in one cloud-based tool, allowing seamless project management and real-time collaboration. A360 enhances team coordination by centralizing project data and communication.
Mr. Rama Tiwari, Regional Director of Sales at Autodesk ASEAN, stated, “Technologies like IoT, AR/VR, robotics, and 3D printing are reshaping the industry. The Digital Manufacturing Platform equips Thai talent and companies with the tools needed to innovate across the entire manufacturing chain and position Thailand as a leader in the future of making things.â€
Beyond the platform, NSTDA and Autodesk are also working on joint research initiatives and technology infrastructure to support Thailand’s Smart Cities projects.
