Missler Software has a solid experience in catering to the specific needs of toolmaking. TopSolid offers powerful, industry-specific solutions for designing products and producing tools for mold making and cutting tool production. As all TopSolid toolmaking modules are completely integrated from design through simulation and manufacturing, the perfect numeric chain is created for toolmaking.
3D designs are machined directly using TopSolid’Cam and TopSolid’Wire and thereby maximise toolmakers relations with subcontactors. TopSolid’Mold, TopSolid’Progress and TopSolid’Electrode represent TopSolid’s toolmaking CAD solutions.
Companies with a high level of in-house production are often tempted into making convenient compromises for the sake of an integrated system environment. This includes using the same CAD system for both product development and tool making. However, using different systems may prove to be more cost-effective and rational, as long as the switch is made at the correct place in the process chain. Thus, the German subsidiary of the French electrical manufacturer Legrand, which uses a popular 3D CAD system to develop their products, has been able to considerably shorten their turnaround time by implementing Missler Software’s end-to-end CAD/CAM solution for both tool making and production resource design.
