Kubotek NewsletterDecember 2011  
Welcome

Thank you for a great year; it's been the best year ever in terms of new license sales, revenues and renewals.  Why?  Because of your loyalty and trust in us. We lead the market in Direct CAD Modeling, CAD Comparison and Validation all because of you.  

 

Many of you, especially long time customers, know that we're a pretty practical company.  No one is pushing us around.  No board of venture capitalists telling us what to do just so they can line their pockets and then sell us to the highest bidder.  We have a long term vision to give you easiest to use, most powerful and intuitive tools on the market.   So, while the rest of the industry is worried about how to store and retrieve your files, we promise you we'll continue to deliver industry leading solutions.     

Cheers to you and wishing you a very successful 2012!

  • Want to make intermediate size assemblies and learn some best practices for layouts, lightweight references, etc.
  • Want to get started with surfacing, including advanced sculpting of aerodynamic surfaces for motorcycle fairings?
These are just some of the examples of how our expert staff can help you get the most out of KeyCreator. Custom CAD services give you individualized attention and expertise to tackle these types of topics and more..
