Products[edit]

KeyCreator MfgCAD: KeyCreator is a non-parametric, non-history based, "direct" 2D/3D solid modeling CAD program. Originally known as CADKEY, it was first released in 1984, running on DOS, UNIX and Microsoft Windows operating systems. It was among the first CAD programs with 3D capabilities for personal computers. Besides solid modeling, KeyCreator is also capable of wire-frame and surface modeling, as well as drafting.

KeyCreator Viewer software provides all of the CKD file viewing capabilities of KeyCreator MfgCAD in a free read-only program. KeyCreator Viewer is a lightweight and compact CAD viewer software to browse, inspect or analyze KeyCreator CKD files and export relevant data.

K-Display Convert programs for opening 3D files from all the major MCAD systems and saving to standard formats. No matter where they come from K-Display® Convert will get CAD files ready to be read with the tools you have. The programs require no additional CAD software licenses.

K-Display View programs and apps for reading, navigating, and measuring all major CAD file formats on any device.

K-Compare Revision Engineering Change Report Software that handles models from any major source. Reads files from all major CAD databases, standards, and modeling kernels. Compare large sets of assembly files.

K-Compare Validate is a leading stand-alone program for providing fast, complete inspection of translations and automated compliance reporting to meet standards like Boeing D6-51991 Rev N. Options are available to read all major MCAD files.

Kosmos 3D Framework is an advanced set of multi-platform software components which support development of specialized design applications, CAD/CAM, CMM, and CAE utility programs, and high-fidelity movement of data between engineering software programs.

Languages: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, and Brazilian Portuguese.
