Original Press Release:
CADKEY Corporation Ships CADKEY Workshop Version 20
Second Product in All-New CADKEY® Version 20 Technology Product Line Now Available
Marlborough, MA - May 20, 2002 - CADKEY Corporation, a leading developer of Windows®-based mechanical design and drafting software used by mechanical design and manufacturing professionals worldwide for over sixteen years, announced today that the all-new CADKEY Workshop(TM) Version 20 Manufacturing Design Software is now shipping. Previously referred to as "CADKEY 20", CADKEY Workshop is an enhanced version of the company's flagship CADKEY product that has been tailored specifically to meet the needs of Manufacturing Design Engineers. Built on an all-new, state of the art architecture, CADKEY Workshop provides a comprehensive design solution that allows manufacturing professionals to create, import, and edit three-dimensional models and drawings with ease. The product contains new functionality that increases both productivity and accuracy in the design of tooling, machinery, fixtures, molds, dies, and complex machines.
Three unique features that set CADKEY Workshop apart from other CAD software products are a Pure Geometry(TM) foundation (architecture), a versatile assembly management and data organization structure, and a comprehensive dimensional accuracy assurance system. Pure Geometry enables a simple transition from drawing to modeling as well as the ability to model shapes of any complexity and edit any imported geometry as if it were created natively. The all-new data structure allows users to manage assemblies using a blend of simple, layer-based organization tools with powerful file referencing schemes. This enables quick, flexible construction at the conceptual stage and associative updating as the design progresses into the final stage. The new dimensional accuracy assurance system provides numerous tools to prevent or highlight incorrect dimensions, reducing costly, erroneous dimensions on production drawings. To insure interoperability with other CAD/CAM/CAE systems, industry-standard data translators (DWG, DXF(TM), ACIS®-SAT, Parasolid® X_T, STEP(TM), IGES, STL, and VRML) are included.
