ELECTROMOULDS SELECTS KUBOTEK KEYCREATORT NC TO ACCELERATE MANUFACTURING OF MEDICAL PRODUCTS
Long-time CADKEY Customer Makes the Leap to KeyCreator NC

Marlboro, MA - December 6, 2004 - Kubotek USA today announced it has received a new order from Electromoulds, a Canadian-based plastic injection mold shop that produces products for a variety of industries including the medical labware industry. Electromoulds has purchased, installed and is currently working with the latest version of Kubotek KeyCreatorTM NC (formerly CADKEY), geometry-based design and NC programming technology.

KeyCreator NC combines production-oriented 2 and 3 axis programming with a complete mechanical design and drawing environment. This easy-to-learn product includes everything needed to quickly read or create solid/surface models and CAD drawings as well as output NC programs and process sheets.

A long time CADKEY user, Electromoulds is well established with a history of creating high-quality products for a variety of industries including home appliance and general consumer products. In addition, Electromoulds designs and manufactures test tubes, beakers, petri dishes, funnels, and medical cassettes for the medical labware industry.

"We purchased KeyCreator NC because as a long-time customer we were confident that this new NC product would be first rate and easy-to-use," said Tony Creti, president of Electromoulds. "We are a small company that moves very quickly and works very efficiently, and we need a CAD product that can do the same. While the majority of our work is in the area of medical labware products, we are a very enterprising company that has been known to produce parts for swimming pools, washing machines -- you name it. We feel with KeyCreator we can do it all and do it very well."

"Our evolving product line and the commitment of companies like Electromoulds, is a demonstration to the strength of our company and our product line," said Robert Bean, chief operating officer, Kubotek USA. "Contract renewals and new product purchases from long-time customers like Electromoulds are strong proof points that support our company and product vision."

Kubotek 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 rapidly expanding product line features the company's unique 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.
