Super Feature Technology: Kubotek USA Raises the Bar by Ken Versprille, PLM Research Director • April 25, 2007

Abstract: Examines the needs manufacturers have for working with designs generated from multiple CAD programs and how new geometry-based feature technology from Kubotek improves productivity for these applications. The benefits of the technology are not just in the editing of models. Because the technology can find pattern and feature relationships between faces all across a model in real-time, it is a valuable tool for exploring a customer’s model. Since complex features or “Super Features” can be defined in real-time on any CAD file, designs can be re-purposed for manufacturing, moldmaking and more. Versprille provides three examples of American manufacturers already using these new capabilities to save design time in a design through manufacture workflow.

Mining Intelligence in “Dumb” Geometry: Kubotek USA Advances Core Technology Ken Versprille, PLM Research Director • January 20, 2006

Abstract: Has the industry, in its preoccupation with parametric and proprietary feature-based modeling, overlooked a technical advance in recognizing pure core intelligence buried within "dumb" explicit solid geometry? Kubotek USA technologists prove the answer is "yes," with a conceptually simple and logical enhancement of industry-standard selection algorithms. Packaged as a complementary tool to a user's existing CAD system, Kubotek's feature and pattern discovery during real time cursor tracking can assist users dealing with data exchange between disparate CAD modeling applications.
