Translators
Despite claims by numerous CAD vendors that their particular system has become
the industry standard, Kubotek
surveys have shown that no single 3D design format has emerged as the
standard. Even the commonly used IGES (ANSI Y14.26M) and STEP (ISO 10303)
AP203/214 formats created by the standards organizations have not become the
dominant way companies exchange 3D models. Some industries have attempted to
tackle CAD interoperability issues by requiring suppliers to accept data in the
format of a particular CAD program. The problem is not an easy one to solve
when a supplier serves a diverse customer base. Often, small to mid-sized
companies end up supporting multiple CAD programs just to read 3D product data
from customers.
KeyCreator Offers Additional Translation Capabilities
It is expensive for companies to keep resources dedicated to multiple CAD
systems. That's why KeyCreator is frequently chosen as the workhorse system for
multi-CAD environments. Several
file formats are supported in the standard KeyCreator package. In
addition, Kubotek offers the following set of 3D engineering data translation
capabilities in premium packages of KeyCreator.
