The TopSolid
integrated CAD/CAM range is more powerful than ever before
with the release of TopSolid 2005. Each TopSolid module boasts
many new functionalities with particular emphasis being placed
on a more simplified user interface being highly visual and
easier to use for operators.
With full integration from design to manufacturing, specific
solutions for the mechanical engineering, sheet metal and
wood industries, TopSolid 2005 should not be missed.
The main improvements for TopSolid Design
2005, TopSolid Cam 2005 and TopSolid Mold 2005 are outlined
below.
TopSolid is a unique, fully integrated CAD/CAM software.
TopSolid’Design 2005 offers significant improvements for
your design department. Improved and more cost-efficient design
is central to this fully associative CAD solution. The key highlights
of TopSolid’2005 are its ergonomics resulting in a more
user-friendly module, the ability to modify imported parts, the
possibility to deform and create new surfaces in addition to the
inclusion of constraint systems for sub-assemblies.
