2、straints together with more demanding quality standards oblige todays tool maker to increase his productivity both in the design department and on the workfloor. TopSolidMold and TopSolidCam are completely integrated from design through simulation and manufacturing, thus creating the perfect numeric
3、 chain for the tool maker. 3D designs are machined directly, without error, TopSolidCam and TopSolidWire. With TopSolid there is no need to re-enter geometries on the work floor nor regenerate plans in the Methods Department. Significant time gains are therefore generated. ?3D numerical data can be
