Kubotek Launches Partner Program to Simplify Modeling and Machining for Customers Worldwide
Kubotek USA announced it has launched a new partner program for Solutions Partners and Integrated Technology partners to help its large worldwide customer base and new customers to more effectively and efficiently design and manufacturing leading products and product parts. Kubotek has established relationships with a number of name brand businesses that will be incorporated into this new program, and is seeking companies to partner with in the areas of rendering, animation, analysis, viewing and product data management (PDM).
Kubotek's KeyCreator, formerly called CADKEY, is a solution for the design, development and tooling of products. The solution uses Kubotek's geometry-based approach to design and manufacturing and is particularly adept at working with 3D and solids.
"Kubotek's KeyCreator is a vital component of many businesses' design and manufacturing process," said Robert Bean, chief operating officer, Kubotek USA. "However, product design, development and manufacturing is a large continuum. Our new partnership program will provide customers integrated and logical complementary products for a simplified and easier portfolio of manufacturing solutions."
Kubotek Solution Partners provide high quality solutions that bring specific benefits to businesses using KeyCreator. These solutions include products that enhance NC offerings, address added aspects of mold designing, provide increased graphical capabilities and overall complement KeyCreator's geometry-based approach to design.
Kubotek Integrated Technology Partners offer technology that is integrated into KeyCreator and enhance the value to the customer.
Partners will be supported with joint marketing efforts to new and existing KeyCreator customers.
For information on joining the Kubotek Partner Program, please contact: partners@kubotekusa.com
Kubotek's KeyCreator builds on the heritage of CADKEY, the first true 3D MCAD software for the desktop. KeyCreator combines both the latest in geometry-based design and modeling technology, and a legacy of success in helping customers in the design of tooling, complex machinery, fixtures, molds, dies in a multitude of product development industries including 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 expanding product line features the company's geometry-based foundation with localized feature editing and sophisticated deformation techniques. These capabilities are particularly useful for design teams working with advanced designs of solid models because KeyCreator blends surface, solids and wireframe modeling, allowing easy modification and editing functionality.
The "CADKEY Evolution Tour," a series of free half-day events, is designed to introduce CADKEY customers to KeyCreator design and manufacturing software-the evolution of CADKEY-and demonstrate its ease-of-use. Registration for specific dates is available online at http://www.kubotekusa.com/roadshow Attendees will receive a free trial-version of the software and will also be registered to win an HP Pavilion notebook PC at each event.
