Kubotek USA is now shipping KeyCreator 2014 in the Americas. KeyCreator 2014 contains new customer-driven features as well as enhancements and updates. Additionally, a new photorealistic rendering option is available, as well as a new free student version.
"KeyCreator Direct CAD software is designed for manufacturers, tool, die and mold makers, job shops and product designers," said a company spokesperson. "With continued focus on interoperability, KeyCreator can open and work with CAD files from nearly anyone or any CAD system. The new features and improvements aim to increase productivity and efficiency of many everyday modeling tasks, giving users even more options to build or edit CAD models quickly and with reduced likelihood of errors. A What's New document is available to highlight several product updates."
KeyCreator 2014 will release both a wire EDM option and animation with collision detection in a future scheduled point release. Wire EDM will be an available module for the integrated KeyCreator Machinist add-on product. Animation with collision detection will be available as part of KeyCreator Direct CAD. An optional package for creating photorealistic images from 3D models is also available with KeyCreator Artisan. This new application contains pre-packaged lighting and environments and a library of drag and drop materials. Rendering options are defined and remain linked to the model throughout any model revisions or updates.
The new KeyCreator Student Version is available free of charge to approved, eligible students. The KeyCreator Student Version contains the same professional level precision design tools as the commercial version of KeyCreator, including Adobe PDF output capabilities and 3D STL for rapid prototyping. File exporting capabilities are limited. The KeyCreator Student Version license is renewable annually. Students also have unlimited access to hundreds of online courses and learning aids available through Kubotek University.
Scott Sweeney, Vice President of Marketing, said, "KeyCreator 2014 is the most complete CAD system for companies that need to work with multiple CAD formats. This includes manufacturers, mold, tool and die makers and sheet metal fabricators. With enhancements to both layouts and our unique direct editing widget - the Dynahandle - designing, editing and communicating designs has never been easier. It allows users to work seamlessly to design and edit any CAD file, machine it, compare it, analyze it, validate the data, render it and export it accurately at a competitive cost without the need for weeks, months and years of training."
KeyCreator users with active software maintenance agreements can access KeyCreator 2014 though the Kubotek Support Site and Download Center. Student version requests and free trials for KeyCreator Direct CAD and KeyCreator Artisan can be found at www.kubotek3d.com.
