Back by popular demand, Cadkey wirefram is the 2D/3D CAD design and drafting system that delivers superior price-performance.
For over 20 years, this professional CAD toolset has set the standard in 3D wireframe modeling. Cadkey wirefram is a masterwork of mission-critical CAD functionality required for the bulk of mechanical design work performed by engineers. This highly affordable product is ideal for migrating 2D-to-3D users and engineers who do not require solid or surface modeling features.
Cadkey wirefram is not a “light” product, although it is priced significantly below comparable software available elsewhere. CADKEY’s intuitive 3D geometric construction and editing features can be utilized to digitally prototype and visualize your latest concept, build on your design to create working assemblies, validate your precision 3D models through rapid prototyping, and carry your design intent downstream to manufacturing. For accurate engineering drawings, Cadkey wirefram offers comprehensive, automated 2D drafting and detailing based on ANSI, ISO, DIN and JIS drafting standards.
CADKEY Mechanical CAD software has been a pioneer in innovative solutions that have focused on meeting the daily needs of design and manufacturing professionals for nearly two decades. While CADKEY was initially released in 1984 as the very first true 3D CAD system for the PC, the latest generation of CADKEY software has been completely re-written since then “from the ground up”. It is built on an all-new Windows architecture, making it one of the newest MCAD engines released on the market in years. CADKEY Workshop is the same great CADKEY you’ve known – only better.
While the MCAD marketplace has also changed dramatically since 1984, CADKEY software products have remained the leading solutions for providing practical, flexible, interoperable, explicit (freeform), geometry-based design and manufacturing tools that focus on ease of use and getting products manufactured faster. CADKEY Workshop’s geometry-based architecture and freeform solid modeling, advanced surfacing and wireframe tools make it the essential software tool for Design Engineers as well as Manufacturing Engineers, Tool & Die Makers, Job Shops and Moldmakers. It’s the perfect product for users who design products as well as users who “design the machines that make the products.
I am a mold designer from a mold company in CANADA, yes! we use cadkey as design tool
In North America, many designers in many mold companies use cadkey.
I think CADKEY is still chosen by many mold companies because it is really cheap.
Considering the cost, CADKEY is still very cost-effective.
In Canada, many mold companies still use CADKEY as design software.
Cadkey is an excellent CAD software for mold design, i like to use
At least in mold design and mechanical design, CADKEY is much more professional than AUTOCAD.
Cadkey is a good design software, but as a mold designer, I think it is not very flexible.and it is not very compatible.
UGNX, Pro/E, CATIA is gradually replacing these 2.5D design softwares.
There seems to be a small number of mold companies using cadkey, which our company used five years ago.
thanks for sharing the article like this, our company uses CADKEY
Cadkey is economical and practical, and the price is cheap. It’s function fully meets the needs of mold design.
In fact, cadkey is economical and easy to use, which is a good tool for mold design.
Cadkey should not be the mainstream software for mold design, but it is said to be cheap.
It is a CAD software between 2D and 3D，that’s so called 2.5D
actually CADKEY is still used in many mold companies of North America
Cadkey is still popular in north American mold companies
I have a college classmate who now works in a Canadian mold company as mold designer. His company uses CADKEY
I am the business agent of CADKEY. Any question, please feel free to contact me
I think Cadkey’s advantage is 2D,At least in the mould design, it’s 2D function is very powerful
Cadkey is 2.5D, now Full real 3D design is more and more popular in mold design
This display mode is convenient for mold designers
I like to use cadkey, maybe because I can not use any other software:-)
our company still uses CADKEY as design tool, no problem!
Yes! Cadkey wirefram is 2.5D, now real 3D solid design is more and more popular in mold industry
thanks for your information about Cadkey, Cadkey is a good design tool for mold design, in my opinion
I am a mold engineer from Canada, I am very glad to find an article about Cadkey, actually in our local Enterprise, many companies still use Cadkey.
in our many local mold companies, Cadkey is still used in mold design
I’m very used to using CADKEY to design all kind of mold
I still want to say Cadkey is suitable for mold design, though many mold designers don’t agree my opinion.
our company is using Cadkey, but I don’t think this is a good design tool.Any objection, please discuss it here
I am a mold designer, in our local mold company, maybe it is difficult to find a company which chooses Cadkey as design tool
Perhaps only the mould companies in North America, CADKEY is widely used in mold design
I am an user of CADKEY, I want to say CADKEY is suitable for mold design, especially for Auto mould design
Now full 3 d design has been very popular in the mold design
CADKEY is 2.5D CAD software, I am not sure whether it is still popular in mold design, I just know UGNX, Pro/e, Solidworks are very popular in mold design at present
I don’t think CADKEY is a good cad software, because it is really bad as a mold design tool
In my experience, cadkey is very fit for mould design
in my opinion, Cadkey is an 2.5D CAD software, it is good for mold design
Cadkey is very popular in North America a lot of mold factories
I just know some about Cadkey, this article gave me a lot about it, thanks!
Cadkey modeling approach has lagged behind
cadkey is very popular in North America
the modeling concept of cadkey is very special
In the mold industry in the United States and Canada, Cadkey is often used in mold design
in Canada, many mold enterprise choose Cadkey
it let me understand Cadkey more! thanks so much!
if you understand Cadkey wireframe, it will benefit your design
many mold designers don’t understand Cadkey wirefram
A lot of mold designers are not used to this method
Cadkey wirefram is a good modeling method, But many designers don’t understand it
Cadkey is an excellent software in mechanical manufacturing industry
In order to efficiently operate Cadkey, you need to set up shortcut key on your computer
This method of modeling is very special
Cadkey has its unique way of design in mold design
I am a mold designer from Canada, in our place, many mold companies use Cadkey as a deign tool
in North America and Canada, CADKEY is chosen by many mould companies
