Complete CAD/CAM for progressive die and press tools with TopSolidProgress 2012

TopSolidProgress 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. Discover here whats new in TopSolidProgress 2012:
Bend with a stiffener unbended like the bend.

Part preparation > Unbending with forming: Unbend bends taking into account the associated forming faces which are automatically rebuilt > Considerably reduce preparation times for many part types Management of complex parts > Management of parts tangential to the borders of the strip Management of compex parts > > > FTI (Forming Technologies Incorporated) the new TopSolid partner for unstamping simulation Neutral fiber simulation whichever side selected More precise unstamping on leading surfaces with better edge connection respect between the part and the area to unstamp Nesting for strip preparation > Best part positioning on the strip is now possible for the following configurations: minimal rectangle, part alone, with rotated part and with symmetric part > A new wizard allows you to quickly evaluate the set of placements matching your criteria (loss rate, step, strip width, orientation) and allows you to validate the optimal solution > A nesting report is generated after validation in a TopSolidDraft file Strip creation > > Replace station geometry: The original color of the template body is kept on the strip Modify bending angle: Overbending on stages, taking into account the forming faces linked to this bend
Nesting wizard for the strip creation. Flanged bend unbended like the bend. Partial unstamping is more reliable thanks to FTI.
