KEYCREATOR® 2D/3D Mechanical CAD Software - The Next Evolution of CADKEY!
KEYCREATOR is the Next Evolution of CADKEY!  KEYCREATOR, based on the latest technology of PURE GEOMETRY, is the most versatile and comprehensive Windows-based mechanical CAD software package available. With legendary ease-of-use, unmatched flexibility, and versatility, students have the opportunity to use 2D drafting and 3D design solid modeling applications to tackle the widest range of drafting, design and modeling challenges. This integration is the best combination of tools for teaching and learning CAD. Introduced in 1985 as the first 3D PC-CAD program in the market, this product is an easy-to-use program with an intuitive user interface recognized to have the shortest learning curve of any industry-grade CAD software.

DataCAD® 3D Architectural Drafting & Design Software
DataCAD is an architectural Computer-Aided Design and Drafting software created by architects for architects. DataCAD includes tools that make architectural design and drafting much easier for students, such as automatic door and window insertion, associative dimensioning and hatching, automated 3D framing and OpenDWG-based DXF/DWG translators.

The program quickly converts 3D models of buildings, interiors, landscapes and detailed complexes into 2D drawings and plans. Students can photorealistic render "true-to-life" images of their 3D architectural or interior designs for class presentations. DataCAD is a Windows-based program that students quickly learn, giving instructors more time to focus on architectural education rather than the mechanics of the software. With over 250, 000 seats shipped worldwide, DataCAD is widely used in the architectural community and recognized as a leading 3D solution for over ten years. DataCAD is listed as the second most-widely used software by registered architects according to the most recent American Institute of Architects (AIA) firm survey!

SURFCAM® Computer-Aided Machining Software
SURFCAM, a Computer-Aided Machining (CAM) software program, is used worldwide for mold making, prototyping, pattern making, and production machining applications. Students can learn toolpath generation and the fundamentals of CNC programming using 3D CAD models. SURFCAM supports CNC programming of 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-axis mills, lathes, wire EDM, laser, plasma and water-jet machines. Using an intuitive graphical interface, students have control to cut their parts any way they like. A generic post processor with hundreds of pre-configured posts for all major machine tool controls is included with SURFCAM. SURFCAM is easy-to-use and quickly generates reliable, gouge-free toolpaths. All SURFCAM product lines provide a full range of bi-directional CAD translators ?IGES, DXF, CADL, STL, and most European and American automotive formats? and include dynamic data exchange (DDE) for interactive linking with other Windows-based software.
