Kubotek Kosmos Replaces Twenty Native CAD Translators in Major KeyCreator Release

Marlborough, MA — Kubotek Kosmos is proud to announce the upcoming September release of the 2025 versions of the KeyCreator software family. The 2025 version completes the transition of all native CAD file translation capabilities from major 3D CAD programs to be exclusively based on technology from the Kubotek Kosmos 3D Framework. This means KeyCreator 2025 users will connect to product definition data through the uniquely powerful system which Kubotek Kosmos incorporates in all of its other end-user products and provides to other 3D software communities with similar needs.

This Kosmos CAD translation system began its commercial use over twelve years ago in the hand-off of precise B-Rep data in STEP and IGES files to the ACIS modeling engine in KeyCreator. The system is now directly reading 3D model and 2D drawing files from Dassault Systems CATIA and SolidWorks, Siemens NX, JT and Solid Edge, and PTC Creo. Additionally, 3D models from Autodesk Inventor, McNeel Rhino, Industry Foundation Classes IFC, and Siemens Parasolid files are read through this system.

“The system has grown significantly and been proven exceptional over the last six years in support of validation of critical Model-Based Definition (MBD) data used throughout manufacturing processes by hundreds of aerospace parts suppliers,” said Ram Eswaran, Kubotek Kosmos CTO/COO. “Kubotek Kosmos is confident these translators are the best solution available and excited to provide them to our long-time KeyCreator customers,” added Eswaran.
