CAD/CAM solution for mold making and machining
To be efficient, a CAD mold solution needs to enable a high degree of automation for frequent tool design operations. Furthermore, the solution needs to be integrated into a powerful CAD/CAM solution so that it can be used for multiple application. The CAD/CAM system must be able to process hollow parts, general mechanical and manufacturing design and at the same time be parametric and associative. TopSolid’Mold meets all these requirements and has therefore become one of the leading systems for mold making worldwide within a short period of time.
