New Kubotek Software Validates and Compares 3D CAD Models

By DE Editors

Kubotek USA (Marlborough, MA) introduced Kubotek Validation Tool, which assures manufactures that two revisions of the same CAD model, which visually appear the same, truly are geometrically identical.

This product performs a critical test for manufacturers who rely on the 3D model as the product specification. Adding this step to the process of sharing 3D CAD data can prevent costly errors, often resulting from unintentional edits or translation errors when a model is passed between engineering groups. The report generation capabilities of the software include pass-fail indicators, a tamper-proof validation certificate, and a detailed listing of any differences found.

The first set of tests using Kubotek Validation Tool engages Kubotek’s unique Face Logic technology to analyze the actual geometric data types found in solid models based on a specified tolerance. Additional tests compare mass properties results and count geometry and topology.
