PADT Expands Local 3D Printing, Support, and Simulation Services with New Albuquerque Office

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - June 17, 2013 - PRLog -- Phoenix Analysis & Design Technologies, Inc. (PADT, Inc. (http://www.padtinc.com/)), the Southwest’s largest provider of simulation, product development, and rapid prototyping services and products, is pleased to announce the opening of their new local office in Albuquerque, New Mexico in the Sandia Science and Technology Park.  The location, 1451 Innovation Parkway, is literally at the corner of Research and Innovation.  This is PADT's third office joining their main office in Tempe, AZ and the PADT Colorado office in Littleton Colorado.

Some of PADT's earliest customers came from the state of New Mexico, and the company provides products, support, and services to many organizations in the area, including all of the major universities, the National Labs, and dozens of commercial companies.  The new office will allow the local team, and employees visiting from PADT's Colorado or Arizona locations, the opportunity to work in a familiar location, have direct access to PADT's infrastructure, and provide customers a location to view the 3D Printing, simulation, and product development technologies that PADT offers.  The location at the Eubank entrance to Kirtland AFB and Sandia National Labs give direct access to the highest concentration of PADT customers in the state.

Renee Palacios, an account executive at PADT that works in New Mexico, commented "Besides the fact that the local coffee shop Barista knows our meeting schedule, the rapid growth in the number of 3D Printer customers that we support has really made the need for a brick-and-mortar facility more important."  The new office will have room for several demonstration rapid prototyping additive manufacturing systems (3D Printers) from Stratasys, space to keep some of the more common supplies that customers need, and a large meeting room for seminars and training.  Ms. Palacios goes on to add "The meeting room is the most important part of the office because it will allow us to train and educate our customers as a group, rather than going from company to company.  The synergy we see in such sessions at our Arizona and Colorado offices is something that everyone who attends really appreciates."

The sales team in the  PADT New Mexico office will focus on distributing three  products lines:  The first is the complete suite of simulation software from ANSYS, Inc. (ANSS) (www.ANSYS.com). These tools are used by companies around the world to simulate products before testing, resulting in better performance for less cost and in less time.  The second line of products are the 3D Printer and Direct Digital Manufacturing systems from Stratasys (SSYS) (www.STRATASYS.com).  Both ANSYS, Inc. and Stratasys are the world leaders in their respective markets, and PADT is proud to be one of their reselling partners for Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico.  The third product line is PADT's CUBE Systems, (www.padtinc.com/cube-hvpc) their own brand of High Value Performance Computers specifically designed and configured for the advanced simulation user.

Additionally, the office will serve as a place for PADT’s technical staff to work together at a single location, providing simulation consulting, training and technical support.  As the company grows, the area has sufficient expansion opportunities to allow for more employees and equipment. "We have seen steady and robust growth for our business in New Mexico over the past couple of years" noted one of PADT's four owners, Ward Rand, "and we see the state's focus on high technology, especially the commercialization of technology from the national labs, as a perfect fit for us.  By being local we can be better involved in the deliver local services, provide unique employment opportunities to the fantastic engineering talent in the area, and grow our Angel investment activities to include New Mexico."
