Viewer Software Assesses Moldability of Parts in 16 CAD File Formats

A simple, intuitive interface enables quoting, manufacturing, sales, support and service departments to all easily view and interrogate 3D CAD files. Initially released in 2018, Kubotek3D’s K-Display View offers mold-specific features, including colored shading based on draft angle, 3D bounding envelope size and measurements of distances, volume, area and thickness. 

According to the company, the product is a local install, read-only program, eliminating the need to save a changed version of the file or to upload sensitive/customer data online. The program has options to read 3D files from all major mechanical CAD programs and standard formats. Advance support includes five native drawing formats, semantic 3D GD&T (PMI) and discovery of duplicate bodies.

Powered by Kubotek’s next-generation Kosmos technology, K-Display employs full multi-threaded processing which is guaranteed to bring a new level of speed when opening larger files, says Kubotek; it is supported on Windows, Mac and Linux. No additional CAD software licenses are needed. Network floating versions and lease or permanent license as available.
