Kubotek Newsletter
September 2009
 
  Welcome
 

It hit me when I was speaking with an industry analyst recently how impressive it is that CADKEY/Kubotek has been continuously operating since the 1980’s. We should all take pride in this because it wouldn’t be possible without our loyal users. There has been a lot of chatter lately about the benefits of direct, history free modeling and editing. We have been working with two rather large companies recently who stated that KeyCreator's approach to modeling makes much more sense for them compared to their current history based, constrained systems. I really think the market, and Kubotek, is primed to take advantage of this shift in thinking. It has been amazing to see our loyal customer base getting active on the blogs and through other media to stand up and evangelize KeyCreator. We encourage you to keep doing this! This has led to more exposure and in turn more discussions about Kubotek’s role in leading the way. After all, this is not new to our customer base. We have added a new section to the newsletter called “Direct from the street” where we will be posting one new customer testimonial per newsletter. We are asking that you send us your testimonials through the link provided so we can continue to spread the word. We thank Jim Gutterman for the first passionate testimonial. I think most people would be surprised at who, and how, our software is being used. If you have a success story to tell, please let us know.

Again, thank you to our loyal customers who have been productive with
CADKEY/Kubotek for the good part of a career and thank you to the new
users who are realizing the benefits of KeyCreator for the first time. We at
Kubotek value the past and look forward to the future.

  Direct from the Street
 

"I love KC because I can take models from those other systems and do whatever I need to do to accomplish our goal. I am not constrained in any way by the software and my boss likes it that way. The last thing in the world I would ever want to tell him is that I can't do what he wants (as in, build what the artist rendered) because the software won't do it... He simply would not give a damn darn and would direct me to find a way to make it as it should be made. With KC I never run into this and I like it that way."

Jim Gutterman, Sr. Engineer at Alto Aviation

With EasyBOM we take the routine tasks like creating layout(s), measuring the part, inserting views, adding notes about the size, inserting into a BOM and exporting the solid to your CAM software and making this a single step function.

When we timed the manual operations by an expert user we found that EasyBOM beats the expert’s time by 90%.
