Kubotek USA and Basilius Inc. Team Up to Rejuvenate American Manufacturing

Marlborough, MA — Kubotek® USA, creators of geometry-based CAD software, is helping full-service plastics part supplier Basilius, Inc. keep manufacturing jobs in the U.S. Basilius Inc. uses Kubotek's flagship CAD software KeyCreator® throughout its manufacturing process to shorten design cycles, reduce costs and speed time to market. From the initial mold design to shop floor production, the Basilius team has developed its own "MO" for producing the highest level of quality and consistency in complex manufactured parts.

"Product development firms are choosing to outsource manufacturing tasks because they believe they can reduce cost," said Scott Basilius, president and owner of the third-generation business that bears his name. "The trouble is that the total impact of offshore manufacturing is unknown until the final part has been delivered. Time lost due to communication gaps, prototype delays and error corrections has been mounting as the hidden cost of doing business."

Cost Effective CAD Solution Strengthens Competitive Advantage
Basilius Inc. has built its manufacturing business on a foundation of product quality and customer service. The company ensures its design and manufacturing teams have the tools, technology and training needed to exceed customer expectations.

"To say our business is highly competitive is an understatement," explains Basilius. "Just look at the newspaper headlines and you can appreciate how innovative we have to be to protect our jobs. That's where our ability to tap the flexibility of 3D technology in KeyCreator makes all the difference in attracting new business."

Basilius Inc. has integrated KeyCreator software throughout its design to manufacturing workflow. Both designer and shop floor machinist alike have access to the KeyCreator tools and technology they need. "KeyCreator has the right combination of feature-rich technology to handle complex geometry, simple for almost anyone in the organization to use, and yet affordable for small to medium-sized businesses to own," continues Basilius. "By integrating KeyCreator across the organization, we have been able to streamline concurrent operational tasks while verifying accuracy and quality during the production hand-off. KeyCreator helps us compete - not only with the guy across the street - but with manufacturers around the world."

Solution Partner Delivers the Right Stuff
A powerful advantage in the Basilius Inc. success story is the added value delivered by Kubotek partner CIM Solutions and Networking. Technical know-how, local support and technology training for KeyCreator are provided by an experienced team of CAD professionals at CIM Solutions. Even though Basilius' designers are considered power users, they depend upon CIM Solutions to ensure they get the maximum productivity from Kubotek's software solution.

"Understanding the technologies that makes our customers successful is how we are able to differentiate our business," said CIM Solutions owner and CEO Robert Jastrzebski. "CIM Solutions offers a broad range of services that help design and engineering teams unleash the true power of KeyCreator software. Our complementary Webinar series is just one of many examples of the commitment we have to delivering knowledge and information the way our customers need it."
