Kubotek Kosmos Launches 8.0 Release of MBD Utility Products

Support Added for Saved Cutting Planes and CUI Markings in Reports

MARLBOROUGH, MA, UNITED STATES, March 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Kubotek Kosmos, a leader in engineering and manufacturing geometric software technology, announced the 8.0 major release of its Validate, Revision, Convert, and View products. These Model-based Definition (MBD) file utility programs utilize proprietary Kubotek Kosmos modeling technology to support high-fidelity sharing of critical 3D CAD and Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) data across the manufacturing supply chain. Version 8 updates support for major CAD file formats, adds visualization of sectioned views, and expands report compliance marking options. The new software is available for customers to download immediately.

Saved Cutting Planes
Model-based Definition views/captures stored in numerous CAD formats are easily accessed from the part tree of all four MBD Utility products. These views always have a saved 3D orientation and usually also define a set of visible annotations. In some cases, these views also have an active cutting plane which sections the part for improved visibility of interior features. For the 8.0 release all four products have added full support for these view cutting plane attributes. An example of such a view, which is now fully supported in the version 8.0 products, is shown in the related image.

CUI Markings
The 8.0 version of Kubotek Kosmos Validate software now provides options to insert CUI compliance marking text onto the program’s tamper-proof validation reports. This text is required for documents related to certain classes of engineering data designated as Controlled Unclassified Information by the Pentagon. The added features are in compliance with DOPSR 25-P-0275 published in December of 2024.

Updated CAD File Support
Reading of 3D CAD files across Kubotek Kosmos MBD utility software programs has been updated to support new versions of nine file formats:
• Autodesk Fusion 2605.1.39
• Autodesk Inventor 2026
• Dassault Systemes (DS) CATIA V6/3DExperience 2026
• DS SolidWorks 2026
• ISO STEP AP242 Edition 4
• PTC Creo 12.0
• Siemens Digital Industries Software (SDIS) NX 22512
• SDIS Parasolid V38
