KeyCreator is a commercial software application for 2D and 3D computer-aided design (CAD) and drafting available since 2004.




History


KeyCreator is a non-parametric, non-history based, "direct" 2D/3D solid modeling CAD program. Originally known as CADKEY, it was first released in 1984, running on DOS, UNIX and Microsoft Windows operating systems. It was among the first CAD programs with 3D capabilities for personal computers. Besides solid modeling, KeyCreator is also capable of wire-frame and surface modeling, as well as drafting.

KeyCreator Artisan allows 3D models to be turned into photorealistic renderings.
KeyCreator CKD Viewer is a no-cost program for reviewing 3D models and drawings stored in CKD files.




Designed with KeyCreator


Aero Tec Laboratories used KeyCreator to design crash resistant, nonexploding fuel-bladder tanks for aircraft, race cars, and performance boats. They have made custom bladder tanks for NASCAR, Ferrari, Boeing, Lockheed, NASA and the U.S. Military.
