These integrated TopSolid modules for the tool and die industry cover the complete digital chain, from design to simulation and manufacturing. This exceptional software allows you to: > Easily work with your customers data > Repair, adapt and edit this data so that you can begin designing as quickly as possible > Use both industry standards and user defined components...

With its strong exprience in tool and die manufacturing, Missler Software pays close attention to the specific needs of toolmakers. Thanks to our wealth of specialized solutions, you can completely design your tools in 3D and control all constraints before producing the drawings. Changes made to the design at any stage of the product lifecycle are no problem to manage thanks to TopSolid's associativity. You will save time and benefit from improved security. Prepare your design Importing external data is a key step in the design of any tool. TopSolid can directly exploit the following formats:...

SPECIALIZED CAD/CAM FOR MOLD MAKERS TopSolid'Mold has all the functions needed to create molds, while halving the time taken to design a mold in comparison with generic design applications. Its functions to create parting lines and surfaces, wizards to install standard and preset components plus its fully integrated and associative drafting function all help to rationalize the design process of your tools, while taking your manufacturing imperatives into consideration. TopSolid'Mold significantly boosts productivity thanks to the management of part changes to be molded during the design process....

TopSolid'Mold is a fully integrated CAD/CAM module designed to meet the highly demanding and specialized needs of mold makers and tool & die specialists. The complete mold design and machining process is fully managed including all changes which may occur throughout this stage. TopSolid'Mold offers incredible productivity gains thanks to its complete integration and mold making specialized functions. TopSolid'Mold speeds up the design of core cavity blocks > Global or differential control of indent factors > Rapid analysis of drafts and back drafts of plastic parts > Automatic detection of parting...

A BOOSTFOR YOUR ELECTRODES Since it can easily work with external data, TopSolid'Electrode is the logical extension of TopSolid'Mold. It can be used to retrieve core cavity blocks, while masking the operations that require conventional machining. TopSolid'Electrode helps you to create your electrodes, from production to workshop maintenance. This application is supplemented by TopSolid'Wire, which can be used to calculate the paths for wire EDM machines. This software suite is the essential companion of your CAD/CAM system, thanks to the precious time it saves and the enhanced dependability of...

Once the 3D tool design process is complte, it is often necessary to design and build dozens of electrodes which can become a repetitive and painstaking process. In addition to efficiently designing your electrodes, TopSolid'Electrode also guarantees that they are compatible with all the specific characteristics resulting from EDM machining. Quick and efficient creation > Creation wizard by type of electrode > Help to select the zones to be eroded > Automatic extension of tangential surfaces > Gap management: roughing, semi-finishing, finishing > Standard and/or custom attachments > Libraries...

TopSolid SPECIALIZED CAD/CAM FOR PRESS TOOLMAKERS Along the same lines as TopSolid'Mold, TopSolid'Progress is the specialized TopSolid module for the design of progressive cutting and press tools. With its flattening tools, you can combine unfolding and unstamping operations. Simple operations (cutting, folding, shearing and forming) are processed immediately, while the processing of complex operations (stamping/unstamping) is powerful and pragmatic. Stations can be inserted or removed at any time, and all the changes made to a model part are automatically propagated to all the stations. Assembly...

TopSolid'Progress features all the functions required to flatten parts and design the strip and the tool much more quickly than with a generic tool. Its native and complete integration with TopSolid'Cam and TopSolid'Wire allows for manufacturing without any conversions or loss of data, while making full use of all the information defined in the CAD/CAM process. TopSolid'Progress makes strip design easier > Unfolding (with management of losses in folds) and unstamping (Autoform OneStep technology) > Specialized cutting, folding, deforming and shearing operations > Step-by-step calculation of intermediate...

ASSOCIATED MACHINING OF PLATES AND CORE CAVITY BLOCKS Parts designed in 3D can be machined directly using the TopSolid'Cam and TopSolid'Wire CAM modules, without necessarily having to re-enter the geometry data in the workshop, or generating a draft in the Manufacturing Methods Department. These CAM solutions offer machining functions that can process all the parts of a mold. TopSolid'Cam proposes a broad range of machining strategies designed to cut machining times, while producing almost perfect surfaces. All tool paths generated support high-speed machining (HSM) options. TopSolid'Cam can...

Finished products must reach the market as quickly as possible. Therefore, tools must be made as quickly as possible too. The topological analysis of the models, which is based on a perfect knowledge of the machining processes according to the geometry of the part, helps to guide the operator towards the right machining strategy very quickly. Up to 5 axes in 3D TopSolid'Cam is capable of machining 3 or 5 axis core cavity blocks with orientation management to avoid collisions and also offers tool libraries and optimized feed rate management. TopSolid'Cam can take account of the shape of the tools...
