Complete CAD/CAM for progressive die and press tool designers TopSolid’Progress provides all the required functions to help designers compute sheet metal part blanks, design the strip layout and dies far faster than with a standard CAD software. The software manages all cutting, folding and forming stages of the sheet metal, creation of the die set, addition of standard components together with their machining processes, creation of punches, non-standard dies and draft creation.
Collaborative design assistant
Divide design work among several designers to reduce design times
On demand synchronisation of changes made in individual files towards the master document
Strip creation
Improved performance for strip design with many stations
New operation to facilitate the treatment of partial bends
Creation of different intermediate bending stages to detect collisions
Management of complex parts
A simultaneous trimming and thickening operation to accelerate the creation of local unstamping stages
Die bases
Management of different stripping strokes for various stripping set modules
Punches and dies
New function to define the default values of clearances that will be applied when using the process function
Create grinded shoulders and extensions for mistake proofing
Add heals on cutting punches
Miscellaneous
Assistant to simultaneously insert screws and pins to manage standard assembly configurations for plates, punches and dies
Changes report for impacted components where tool dimension changes occur
