There is No Substitute for a Classic. Kubotek Corporation re-releases CADKEY

Kubotek announces the release of CADKEY Wireframe Silver Edition.

In late 2003, Kubotek Corporation acquired the CADKEY technology and replaced the CADKEY product line with KeyCreator. To many CADKEY users this was very upsetting. To them, CADKEY delivered a great deal of capabilities. Since then Kubotek USA has been receiving inquiries from CADKEY users asking how they can purchase additional seats of CADKEY, or how they can “upgrade” their “older” CADKEY seats to a newer version of CADKEY. Until now the only option for these users was to purchase a seat of KeyCreator. Today there is another option. Kubotek has re-released a 3D wireframe version of the familiar CADKEY workhorse environment for customers to purchase at an attractive price.

For many years, CADKEY was the most popular CAD solution for the PC. Thousands of engineers were first introduced to CAD using CADKEY. “Many companies still meet their engineering needs today using CADKEY. The intuitive interface and simplicity of operation make it an efficient and widely used design tool.” Says Bill DeAngelis, Vice President of Channel Sales. “To many engineers, CADKEY is a very recognizable name in the CAD industry.”

Back by popular demand, CADKEY Wireframe is the 2D/3D CAD design and drafting system that delivers superior price-performance. For over 20 years, this professional CAD toolset has set the standard in 3D wireframe modeling. CADKEY Wireframe is a masterwork of mission-critical CAD functionality required for the bulk of mechanical design work performed by engineers. This highly affordable product is ideal for engineers who do not require solid or surface modeling features. CADKEY Wireframe also allows users to import 3D solids and surfaced models and display them as 3D wireframe models, or create 2D drawings from the 3D wireframe.

CADKEY Wireframe is not a “light” product. You can create precise 3D wireframe models that you can use to carry your design intent downstream to manufacturing. At an introductory price of $695 it is priced significantly below comparable software available elsewhere. And for a limited time, as an introductory offer, you can save $200 and purchase the software for $495.

For many applications, wireframe modeling offers significant advantages over solid and surface modeling:

• Rapid modification – users can quickly edit wireframe models during the conceptual design phase without concern for maintaining complex solid face relationships or parametric constraints.
• Easy CAD Data management – for applications such as complex machine design where thousands of components are required, the entire machine data can be stored and managed in a singular wireframe part file instead of hundreds of separate, solid assemblies.
• Data organization flexibility – entity properties in a model— level, color and line style— can be controlled independently for visual distinction of design components and intuitive selection masking.
• Minimum data storage – wireframe models store only edge information, keeping part files significantly smaller in comparison to other 3D modeling technologies, increasing speed and lowering computer costs.

CADKEY Wireframe also includes extensive 2D drafting and detailing features to streamline the creation of specialized engineering documentation. For accurate engineering drawings, CADKEY Wireframe offers comprehensive, automated 2D drafting and detailing based on ANSI, ISO, DIN and JIS drafting standards. Advanced features include:

• Hidden Line Removal
• Basic dimensioning, dual dimensioning, balloon notes, datums and targets, section lines
• Automated Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)
• Symbol creation, including weld and surface finish, with real-time edit/move and “smart” leaders
• A library of over 550 symbols for sheet metal, welding, electrical, piping, fluid power and flow chart applications.

CADKEY WIREFRAME’s ease-of-use, high-end 3D design capabilities, robust 2D drafting capabilities, and data translators make this the perfect choice for designers and engineers who need to protect their design intent and want to utilize legacy data.
