Kubotek USA Signs Rand North America as a Value Added Reseller for New Validation Tool Software

MARLBOROUGH, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
Kubotek USA has signed Rand North America as its primary reseller
for its ground breaking Validation Tool software. Validation Tool
leverages 3D CAD geometry to advance 3D model change management in the
Aerospace and Automotive supply chain.

"We are very excited to be working with Rand due to their wide
reach within the Aerospace and Automotive industries. Leading
companies within these areas are embracing 3D centric design and
manufacturing, eliminating the need for engineering drawings. As these
designs flow down to the supply chain, however, data changes can
occur. Validation Tool easily identifies discrepancies so that they
can be successfully controlled. With the help of Rand North America,
we feel that we can effectively deliver this essential tool to
manufacturing companies throughout the Americas," said Robert Bean,
Executive Vice President of Kubotek USA.

The Kubotek USA Validation tools uses unique 3D pattern matching
and feature discovery technology to compare two 3D models to each
other at a given tolerance. This innovative method provides robust
results quickly, allowing companies to compare data at any step within
the design-manufacturing-inspect process. The Validation Tool produces
reports that insure data integrity and capture change information
vital for its customers.

"With drawings disappearing as the primary definition of product
designs, new technology is needed to identify any and all changes made
to 3D models. Kubotek has created a product that specifically
addresses this need. This solution will allow our customers to
immediately identify changes due to translations and revisions giving
them control of their 3D data," stated Dan J. Smith, Vice President of
Business Development for Rand North America. Rand will sell the
Kubotek Validation Tool software to its customers in North America,
complementing its CATIA PLM Software and Q-Checker model quality
products.
