Kubotek Comparison Suite saves time, improves control
Kubotek has officially released Kubotek Comparison Suite 2014. It adds significant user-driven improvements to save time and improve user control over everyday tasks. Comparison Suite products include Kubotek Validation Tool and ECO Manager.
The engineering change identification and documentation tools found in the Kubotek Comparison Suite help users avoid the costs and pitfalls resulting from undetected or undocumented engineering changes. Design and quality teams gain confidence as they compare two CAD models, regardless of file type, to find differences in product geometry, Model Based Definition (MBD) or Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) contained in the 3D model. Any revisions can then be documented and easily communicated via automated reports in PowerPoint and 3D PDF formats as products work their way through the manufacturing process.
A significant enhancement of the Comparison Suite 2014 release is automatic 3D PDF report creation. Users can create personalised engineering change reports using the full functionality of 3D PDF without the need for secondary software. These 3D PDF reports are fully supported by the Adobe Reader software and provide powerful options for viewing, measuring, collaborating and obtaining information related to engineering changes.
Other reporting enhancements include tools and features that make creating or updating PowerPoint reports easier, including a new creation style that automates the process of creating PowerPoint slides from each identified part revision. Additional customer-driven improvements focus on increasing productivity and updating the extensive CAD file reading capabilities of the Comparison Suite products.
Kubotek leads the direct modelling revolution by providing CAD technology to easily create, edit or manage changes to model data. The company develops core technologies that can recognise or even infer, the geometry’s attributes to facilitate interoperability in what might otherwise be unusable data. Kubotek also develops software that can work with geometry, no matter where it originated, for use throughout the manufacturing supply chain in order to speed time to market, reduce costs and improve quality.
