Comparing 3D CAD models is easy!

Kubotek Europe launches a new product called Kubotek Validation Tool 

Kubotek Europe, the fully owned European subsidiary of Kubotek Corporation, is launching a new CAD-independent product to compare and validate models.  CAD system interoperability is a well-known problem, so it’s clear to most engineering staff that when converting data from one format to another there could be unexpected changes.  Not only this, when a model goes through different designers and workshops, it’s all too easy to incompletely document changes due to distractions, breaks in workflow, or simply because some changes happen without the user noticing them.Visual comparison is a very long-winded and tedious procedure.  Mass properties comparison is insufficient in itself as a tool to highlight all differences.  While it can tell that models are different, it will not indicate where the differences lie.  And, there may be models that are actually different, but give a ‘false positive’ result in a mass properties comparison because all the data results are the same.
