• tamper-proof quality documentation and reporting;
• thorough model inspection through face-based comparison;
• model interrogation, visual overlay and measurement;
• stand-alone read support for CATIA, NX, Creo, Solidworks, STEP, IGES, etc.; and
• batch validation.

Kubotek3D develops mechanical CAD software and core precision 3D technologies that facilitate interoperability between CAD programs. This strategy allows geometry, no matter where it originated, to be used throughout the manufacturing supply chain to speed time to market, reduce costs and improve quality.
