The cutting and stamping CAD/CAM solution for toolmakers

TopSolid’Progress helps you prepare your engineering projects

• Standard and native interfaces: IGES, STEP, DXF / DWG, CATIA, PTC, Parasolid, SAT
• Data clean-up and repair
• Conversion into sheet metal, identification of folds, loss management
• Unfolding / unstamping
• Nesting, material engagement
• Strip creation by specific operation: cutting, folding, deformation, shearing

TopSolid’Progress makes strip design easier

• Unfolding (with management of losses in folds) and unstamping
• Definition of characteristics of strips, multi-part strips, assembly strips, transferred stations
• Specialized cutting, folding, deforming and shearing operations
• Step-by-step calculation of intermediate forming and unstamping steps 
• Insertion and removal of stations
• Calculation of multi-pass cylindrical stamping, supports
• Calculation of efforts

TopSolid’Progress capitalizes on your work

• Assembly of mold bases, standard plates, user plates, foundry plates
• Standard die bases, customizable die base assembly libraries
• Standard component libraries by supplier: guides, attachments, cutting, pilots, springs, accessories
• Automatic and associative dimensioning of standard components, installation wizards
• Automatic machining with parts in contact, customizable clearances
• Addition of user components

TopSolid’Progress improves the quality of your engineering

• Cutting matrices, clearance management, release of cut-offs
