What is KeyCreator?

KeyCreator is a 3D CAD solution designed to help suppliers and designers reuse CAD data to build surface and solid models. Key features of the platform include dynamic face editing, data import and export, surface modeling, wireframe profiling, geometry verification, and draft angle analysis.

The platform utilizes a history-free modeling strategy, which enables users to add, remove, drag, and edit faces or features of various natively created or imported geometries. Operators can draft and design 2D images and convert them into 3D file format on a unified interface. KeyCreator allows managers to link or unlink external files and layer-managed assemblies to optimize data management processes. Teams can also measure elements including mass properties and area of edges or curves to characterize data.

KeyCreator lets businesses generate multiple axis pockets in a toolpath, set up a stock area, and export files in AutoCAD DXF format. Creators can also add edges and remove individual faces from models using topology modification tools.

Pros

“It is a great program to start working on these types of programs. And one of the most important feature is the ability of doing simple 2D drafting.”

Verified reviewer

Anonymity request

“There are some outstanding features of KeyCreator like being user-friendly and creation of quick drawings.”

Verified reviewer

Anonymity request

“I am a tool designer and have used CADkey to KeyCreator for many years and the functionality is very friendly for me. The cost value is important a very robust package for the money.”

Ken E.

Tool Designer

Cons

“NO SPELL CHECK, kEYCREATOR is the only program that I know of that doesn't have spell check, engineers are notorious for being bad spellers.”

Paulo M.

head mechanical design engineer

“The biggest problem KeyCreator has is that the industry standard in 3D modeling has gone to Solidworks which means that Kubotek needs to be able to interface with it. That appears to be a challenge.”

Zak M.

Owner

“Support is terrible updates never fix any of the core issues.”

Trevor R.

Designer
