KeyCreator software to be integrated with GibbsCAM

KeyCreator CAD software allows users to quickly and efficiently translate a design, suppress features of the design and prepare shop floor documentation to keep the production line running.
Gibbs and Associates, developer of GibbsCAM® software, and Kubotek USA, creator of geometry-based KeyCreator® CAD software, recently unveiled their collaboration to integrate KeyCreator software with GibbsCAM. A newly cultivated interface allows models to be sent directly to GibbsCAM from within a KeyCreator session with the touch of a button. Additionally, GibbsCAM now has the ability to directly read models from the KeyCreator CKD file format.

According to Kubotek, with breakthrough data exchange, the ability to handle data from any source, and model editing technologies, such as 3-D solid modeling, surfacing, drafting and layout capabilities, KeyCreator supports the full art-to-part process. KeyCreator allows users to quickly and efficiently translate a design, suppress features of the design and prepare shop floor documentation to keep the production line running. In-process shapes and any geometry needed to support CAM can be sent to GibbsCAM.

"In order to stay current with the latest versions of CAD applications, we continually update GibbsCAM's data interoperability capabilities," states Bill Gibbs, founder and president of Gibbs and Associates. "The GibbsCAM/KeyCreator combination really makes for a cost-effective, yet extremely powerful product development solution."
