Swift electrode creation
Time savings in electrode design
When tools have been designed in 3D it is often necessary to design and manufacture dozens of electrodes. These repetitive and tedious operations add little value to the product itself. TopSolid'Electrode allows designers to quickly create electrodes. TopSolid'Wire enables rapid calculation of tool paths for wire EDM machines. These solutions enable precious time savings and increased process safety, forming an indispensable supplement for CAD/CAM environments.
