Kubotek USA Delivers New Functionality for KeyCreator Customers
MARLBOROUGH, Mass., July 18 / -- Kubotek® USA today announced it is shipping a special mid-year release of KeyCreator(TM), its widely used design and manufacturing software. The new version of the software, available immediately for download by KeyCreator version 4 customers, adds several new features and functionality designed to support collaboration and the sharing of designs, as well as additional design features.
"Software developers build helpful new features all the time; customers shouldn't have to wait a year before they can use that functionality," stated Robert Bean, Kubotek USA's chief operating officer. "Our customers are working in intensely competitive environments; if we have something they need, we want them to have it now."
Among the most significant new features are:o Interference checking -- This new verification function tests a set of selected solids to see if any interference conditions exist between any of them (overlapping or containment). If interferences are found the function provides a visual walk through of each problem location in the design, highlighting the area effected.o Enhanced sheet metal functions such as "unbend all" and upgraded sheet metal "bend" and "edit bend" provide automatic flattening and bending of solid sheet metal parts with a single set of bend parameters.o New "sharing" options such as "export CADL" and "send" function enhancements provide short cuts for designers sharing files with others.
KeyCreator continues the evolution of the popular CADKEY® software, KeyCreator combines both the latest in geometry-based design and modelling technology, and a legacy of success in helping customers in the design of tooling, complex machinery, fixtures, molds and dies in a multitude of product development industries. These industries include automotive, aerospace, heavy equipment, sports equipment, medical device, and many more.
The KeyCreator creation engineering product line includes multidimensional design and drafting, NC programming and reverse engineering capabilities. The rapidly expanding product line features the company's unique geometry-based foundation with Direct Feature Editing(TM) and sophisticated deformation techniques.
North American pricing for KeyCreator begins at $3495 including one year of maintenance. Current, maintenance-paying customers can download the new version immediately.
