Kubotek Launches KeyMachinist Mill Low-Cost CAM Product

Marlborough, Mass.,

—Kubotek USA announces the launch of a new stand-alone product called KeyMachinist Mill. KeyMachinist Mill is a CAM product that is fully compatible with KeyCreator, Kubotek’s 3D direct modeling CAD software.  The product comes in both two axis and three axis versions, KeyMachinist Mill 2 and KeyMachinist Mill 3 respectively.

KeyMachinist integrates an easy to follow, wizard-style interface with fast toolpath generation. Exceptional viewing and layer management tools work hand in hand with a multitude of native or imported file types. The base level of KeyMachinist Mill reads files from Solidworks, Pro/E, AutoCAD, Inventor, NX, CATIA 4, KeyCreator, CADKEY, Parasolid, ACIS, IGES, STL, OBJ, and STEP.   An extended level is available with the ability to read CATIA 5. The base price for KeyMachinist Mill 2 is $1,295.00 and $2,495.00 for KeyMachinist Mill 3. The product is immediately available to customers in North America.

KeyMachinist Mill functions as a stand-alone product. The same NC capabilities found in KeyMachinst Mill, however, will still be available as an add-on to Kubotek KeyCreator. This versatility will give users the freedom to work with design and manufacturing data easily and productively. 

John Wright McCullough, Product Manager, Kubotek USA said “These NC utilities have been available as add-ins to our design products for many years. This is our first stand-alone CAM product. It is based on a robust platform, but we’ve kept it simple and easy to use.”

In addition to the new product announcement, Kubotek is pleased to announce that Marty LoSchiavo has been appointed as manager for the KeyMachinist Center in Rocky Hill, Connecticut.   Marty will be focusing his time and energy on sales and support. The KeyMachinist Center in Seattle, Washington will continue to concentrate on the development of the product.
