CAD File Viewer and Translation Software

Programs for reading, navigating, measuring, and outputting all major CAD file formats

Multi-platform Kubotek Kosmos CAD viewer and translation programs can open model and drawing files from all major mechanical CAD systems, review, filter, measure details, and output to PDF.

Ready for Anything

Simple-to-use View and Convert programs equip anyone in your organization from sales, support, service, and manufacturing with the ability to read the latest CAD files from just about anywhere. The independent programs are lightweight local installs powered by next-generation Kubotek Kosmos technology for full multi-threaded processing to maximize speed when opening larger files.

Assemblies, Geometry, and Annotations

The viewport display and tree list display all of the part references and entities in the file including 3D PMI annotations and views/captures. Easy-to-use tools are provided to measure sizes, distances/angles, volumes, and even surface areas.  Looking to callout specific portions of the data? Simply select and hide the extra information to reduce the display and output down to what is needed. Special tools provide manufacturing teams options to analyze the draft angles of plastic parts or measure milled parts for stock sizes.

Convert versions of the programs support 3D output to mesh (STL, KFW) or precise solids/surfaces (STEP, IGES, ACIS SAT, KCM). The powerful STL output for 3D printing allows for facet refinement control and saving each solid to it’s own STL file if needed.
