Welcome
Winter is officially done. Done. Hello Spring.
What's up ahead? Besides the hope of warmer weather, we will be speaking at amerimold 2014 with our friends from Synergetic Engineering/Expert Mold Designers. Our planned topic: Animate It! Save Time and Money in Mold Manufacturing with CAD Animation. Plan to check us out if you're at the show.
Speaking of manufacturing, we sense that things in manufacturing are going well. Tell us how everything is in your world on any of our social media pages. We'd love to hear from you (and talk about how KeyCreator Direct CAD is great for nimble and smart manufacturers like yourself).
We continue to hear from an increasing number of users who are getting fed up with the restraints of history-based modeling. We certainly hate to see anyone tied up by their CAD data. On the flip-side, we're welcoming them into the Direct CAD Community. If you see any of these new faces, please say hello.
Go forth and model freely and edit directly!
