Designing complete cutting tools in 3D

An efficient CAD solution for cutting and/or sweeping tools should allow strip design by simply inserting and designing stations, and at the same time ensuring complete part associativity. This should be compatible with a powerful CAD/CAM solution like TopSolid. The CAD solution should also be capable of dealing with free-form shapes, in addition to working with mechanics and machining without interrupting the digital process chain. Furthermore, the software needs to provide industry-specific components and processes. TopSolid’Progress meets all these requirements and is therefore the flagship CAD solution for designing cutting tools in 3D.
