Welcome
Welcome to the CAD Comparison Family. Where tons of design files might be related (some might even look the same) but if you look closer, you realize there are many differences between them. Some differences make for good times, others make you cringe - just like any family reunion might do, right?
Design changes in the design-to-manufacture process are common. But just like in any family, some design files are so similar, they are practically twins, while others are so blatantly different, you wonder how they ended up in the same family tree (or production process). In either case, you just hope that those design variations don't harm your product quality or ruin your profit margins.
In this issue of the Kubotek Quarterly, we're going to focus on our cutting edge CAD Comparison Technology and how it will help you quickly uncover design differences so you can improve your design communication, product quality and increase your bottom line. This technology will quickly become invaluable to you and your team in all sorts of ways.
Read on to find out more.

Boeing and Aerospace Suppliers! Read this:
Boeing's D6-51991 requires that suppliers maintain the integrity of Digital Product Definition (DPD) data through all operations.
In short, you need to validate any and all CAD data translations, CAD migrations, or any product data modifications against a master file to ensure accurate part production and better documented processes.
That's where Kubotek Validation Tool, as part of an approved Boeing Supplier Bundle, can help you exceed the requirements for the Boeing D6-51991 and pass your audit.
We invite any Boeing supplier (or other general aerospace supplier) to learn more about the benefits of Validation Tool now. You'll enhance your manufacturing processes for a variety of quality related purposes.
