KCD helped us streamline the business so we can do more in a shorter time with less people. It’s easy and has great customer support. You don’t have to take classes to use it.

SPEED PLUS CONTROLin KCD, your favorite construction details are pre-set for speed and efficiency. However, the way you choose to run each job can be re-determined at the time of building. As a result, changes in construction methods do not impact the project’s design – and design changes won’t impact your building method. Advantages include:• Faster design to manufacturing• More accuracy, fewer mistakes• More freedom for designers – building details are all set• Better functionality: easier to add operators or designers• Production control to run jobs to different specs• The flexibility to edit cut list details for each job
