K-Compare™, Kubotek’s New CAD Translation Validation Product, Debuts at IMTS

CAD Validation Component is Essential for Aerospace Industry

MARLBOROUGH, Mass., Sept. 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kubotek3D, the leading developer of precision geometry software technology, today introduced K-Compare™ Validate, its new, stand-alone CAD translation validation software built on the universal CAD architecture of the new Kubotek Kosmos™ 3D framework.

The K-Compare Validate software supplants Kubotek Validation Tool, introduced in 2008 and the current technology leader for CAD translation validation for supplier quality compliance in the aerospace manufacturing industry. The K-Compare Validate software provides a streamlined user interface and significantly faster operation over its’ predecessor.

“With its unique face-based comparison strategy Kubotek’s CAD model validation software has been the acknowledged technology leader in the aerospace industry for years,” says Andre Beaupre, General Manager of Sales and Support at Kubotek3D. “With the new Kosmos technology built into its K-Compare Validate software, Kubotek is becoming a truly independent auditor of translations between other software.”

The K-Compare Validate software is the first product released under the K-Compare brand. The new software will be unveiled next week at IMTS(International Manufacturing technology Show).

The K-Compare Validate software offers:

  • Quality systems compliance with standards such as Boeing D6-51991
  • 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.
  • Batch validation

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
