KeyCreator is a commercial software application for 2D and 3D computer-aided design (CAD) and drafting available since 2004.
KeyCreator is a non-parametric, non-history based, "direct" 2D/3D solid modeling CAD program. Originally known as CADKEY,[2] it was first released in 1984, running on DOS, UNIX and Microsoft Windows operating systems. It was among the first CAD programs[3] with 3D capabilities for personal computers. Besides solid modeling, KeyCreator is also capable of wire-frame and surface modeling, as well as drafting.
KeyCreator’s native file format is .ckd.
KeyCreator is available for English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, and Brazilian Portuguese.[4]
KeyCreator is capable of translating and editing the following file formats from other CAD software:
KeyCreator has several additional software options for varying functions.
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.[9]
