MOLD DESIGNERS
Expert Mold Designer (XMD) represents a quantum leap forward in mold design. This is the program that I have been waiting for during the entire 24 years that I have been designing molds. All aspects of the program have been carefully thought out to provide the most powerful features in an intuitive way.
The color tools available in the 2021 version of KeyCreator are a game changer. I have used premium CAD software’s that can’t deliver this automated face color manipulation and selection by face color filtering. Our CNC cutting automation is reliant on face colors. These tools will save many hours on every job we process.
DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING
I would like to extend my gratitude to the personnel at XMD for the excellent support I have received over the last few years. The mould design software has proven itself to cut costs by 30% to 60% on designs and time lines over the next best software. I have been in the injection mould industry for decades utilizing 3 other products, there is none that can compare to XMD. The commitment to designing a system whose consumers help direct and develop is unparalleled. Plainly said, it just makes our job easier, and much faster.
MOLD DESIGN LEADER
I have grown to appreciate the efficiency that XMD allows me. As a mold designer I feel that with XMD as a tool, it has eliminated a lot of the tedious operations of a mold design, allowing me more time to focus on efficiently engineering a better product.
CAD CAM MANAGER
We are excited that the next Official release of KC & XMD is due any day now, as we have seen that they consistently make huge improvements. We have NX, Catia and Visi as well, but nothing is faster for mold design than KC & XMD.
DESIGN SERVICE OWNERS
Nothing else provides anywhere near the flexibility and freedom that I have with KeyCreator. Clients are impressed by what I can do with KC, but I don’t think all designers realize how powerful it is. People are so accustomed to all the time and energy that goes into creating a dimension-driven model with history based CAD, they don’t know the freedom that you have when you can just pull on a surface and make a change. There’s no comparison between KC and a history-based modeler.
KeyCreator faithfully allows us to import and immediately work on customer files. Being able to work on any file just as if it had been created in KC, saves me lots of time, and time is money!
TOOL SHOP OWNER
We used XMD for the past ten years, and being mold makers for the past twenty-six years, we found XMD product a God send in helping us to dramatically speed up our mold designs. XMD has done a great job listening to top mold producers to assist technically in developing their product. We can safely say that having investigated software for many years, XMD is by far the most viable tool in the industry. It really works.

…the XMD smart water was easy to pick-up without any formal training.”
…the XMD bill of material list BOM program is excellent, completely automatic with no human entry or mistakes at all.”
…XMD is a very easy program to learn and run.”
…moving and resizing of single or entire groups of components on the fly with no hassle of having to update any subtracts in any plate, no retrimming, BOM, or 2D is awesome.”
