Field-Proven

We have been developing and supporting end-user software for decades, applying insights from the shop floor and the business office to new products and technologies for users worldwide

Independent

Our ability to adapt to industry-specific as well as industry-wide developments lets us provide tools that meet specialized and even customized needs for independent shops and global enterprises

Agile

Accommodating partners from diverse business segments and backgrounds, we provide US-based development and support with the backing of our Japan-based parent company

Supporting Clients Worldwide

Developers. Innovators. Problem solvers.

In the arena of precise geometry kernel developers, we are comparatively small for a company that also develops end-user software. We like it that way. It keeps us responsive, and focused on the challenges overlooked by some larger enterprises.

We are also unique in bringing the shop-floor perspective — gained from supporting end users from independent shops for decades — to industry groups and standards committees. We know of no other company of similar profile consistently participating at that level.

Our goal is not to lock our users into one way of working. Whether a licensee of our kernel technology or a CAD software user, everything we develop is aimed towards the greatest interoperability and compatible productivity. Because you know best how to solve the problem in front of you: we're here to help you do it smarter.

Transition to MBD

Model-Based Definition (MBD) is a generational change in how independent manufacturing shops engage with OEMs and prime contractors, especially in aerospace and defense.

We develop CAD-neutral software tools to help shops meet new and emerging standards. These utilities are built on our proprietary geometry kernel/SDK, which also supports other software developers creating precise 3D applications which utilize Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) and other MBD functionality.

If your organization is preparing for a model-based future, we are ready to support you at whatever stage.

Usable Data from Anywhere

Few software companies have the degree of commitment to interoperability as Kubotek Kosmos. We stay active in global standards committees despite being a fraction of the size of other companies who participate.

Our geometry kernel enables development of software with the greatest range of compatibility across CAD platforms and standards. Our MBD file utilities, which are built on that kernel, provide a CAD-neutral tool that lets shops interrogate the widest possible range of precise 3D models. Our direct CAD provides a combination of robust translators and a unique geometry-centric workflow that lets shops avoid the complication of unrecognized features when importing models.

Any operation facing challenges handling provided files can benefit from what we offer.

Serving Independent Manufacturers

No other CAD technology company takes the practical needs of independent manufacturing environments to the heart of product development as Kubotek Kosmos.

The bulk of the functionality underlying major CAD products are to enable monolithic enterprises with PLM systems to manage repetitive product cycles. The average shop that handles new projects and new challenges every week has almost no need for any of that.

Our direct CAD product and MBD file utilities help manage the unexpected challenges and need for responsiveness that are the hallmark of the independent shop.

Supporting Next-Gen Deployment

Our proprietary geometry kernel/SDK includes a webassembly module so your development team can move your next precise 3D application to the cloud.

Because of its unique feature set, including true multi-threading performance, it's possible to run server- or client-side calculations no legacy kernel can match. What had previously not been possible is now within reach.

If you have been wondering what it would take to move your PC-based engineering application to the cloud, we have your answers.
