The supply chain depends on your flexibility, responsiveness & specialized expertise
We develop technology & products for the 3D problem-solving unique to small and mid-size manufacturing
How manufacturing shops handle CAD data is distinct — we know, because we've been dedicated to this segment for 20+ years
Flexibility & Choice
We trust shops to know what they need to get their job done. Our tools fit in, to help bring new productivity to your established process
Any CAD is Native CAD
Getting different file types from different customers is no headache with our best-in-class tools. Be ready to work with whatever model comes your way
New Day, New Demands
You need to respond to different challenges every time new CAD data comes in from a customer: our tools are built around this reality
We're a small, specialized technology company focused on supporting shops looking to maximize their time & simplify working accurately with client-supplied files
You have certainly heard talk about how model-based definition (MBD) is going to transform the industry. Maybe that sounds like hot air to you. Maybe it sounds like an expensive gamble. Maybe it sounds like something that only serves the large-scale operations like OEMs and primes. We have our own perspective:
MBD Connects Operations
You know all about getting a workpiece through your manufacturing systems to produce the deliverable. Fundamentally, MBD is just a new way to document that — the "digital thread" — and there are tools to help
MBD For Independence
Getting consistent data across multiple systems increases reliance on standard, non-proprietary formats like STEP. This is huge for independent shops: standard formats keep you in control of which systems you use
MBD Made Practical
Costly errors can creep in when the model and the drawings are separate — you've seen it happen. MBD provides a way to step around this obstacle, as well as take a step forward in inspection planning
Because of the advanced process requirements of aerospace & aviation manufacturing, MBD practices are prominent already. OEMs like Lockheed are already publishing guidelines (and timelines!) for manufacturing suppliers. Our software tools have been a leading solution, helping shops keep pace. Other industries will only wait so long as the efficiencies become clear.
We support end users in manufacturing in a wide variety of industries and specializations — all across the globe, all facing similar challenges
We are so committed to developing tools that let shops and other innovators do their work better that we created our own software development kit.
It's built to allow unconstrained data sharing and outperform legacy kernels developed before multi-processing hardware. It's how our end-user software adapts to each customer project — and gets jobs turned around fast
We've been providing CAD-based tools and support to users in manufacturing for more than 20 years. From the beginning, our products have been developed around the diversity of application and category specialization typical of manufacturing.
Our software is not from the world of PLMs, ERPs, and other enterprise-based technology that tries to lock everything into a single system.
Getting workable geometry from incomplete or flawed models
Working custom, working fast from customer-supplied geometry
Starting where you are right now, we can help you turn towards the natural evolution of manufacturing in the information age
The changes that come with MBD processes don't have to change who you are as a manufacturing pro. Stay true to the shop you are today, work towards the demands of tomorrow: Kosmos technology products are here to make that happen
