  • More information
• Specific features to repair, clean and analyze imported geometries before molding

TopSolid'Mold accelerates Core and Cavity Blocks creation, in a dedicated environnement.

• Analyze plastic part undercuts, draft angles and wall thicknesses
• Apply shrinkage factor according to plastic material property
• Automatic detection of Parting Lines according to molding direction
• Specific wizard to create Parting Surfaces
• Define main Inserts, and movements Inserts from the Core and Cavity
• Generate the final Split Assembly, with Core, Cavity and Inserts

• Model your ideas without restriction, express your creativity!
• Hybrid 3D solid / surface design and modeling
• Dedicated Mold Making Features
  • Mold Base
  • Cooling circuits
    • Automatic Components: plugs, baffles, connectors
    • Circuit efficiency and leaks
    • Collisions analyses
  • Movements: angle pins, slide, lifters

TopSolid'Mold provides Smart Components libraries of major manufacturers.

• Hasco, Meusburger, Rabourdin, DME Europe
• FCPK, Pedrotti, Polimold, MDL, Fibro
• PCS, Progressive, DME Inch
• Futaba, Misumi

Smart Components make their own operations and features, called "Processes", ready to manufacture in TopSolid'Cam

TopSolid'Mold provides specific kinematics features to animate and control Tooling movements.

• Visualize the complete open/close cycle of the Mold
• Check for possible collisions before going into Production
• Simulate precisely all type of molds movements
  • Angle pins / Slides, with real stroke management
  • Lifters
  • Gears, Racks, Hydraulic Cylinders, Cams, for most complex undercuts release

TopSolid'Mold, in close collaboration with Simcon®, offers several levels of injection molding simulation.

•  TopSolid'PlasticFlow, which is totally integrated and allows a first level of analysis before the tooling is made
•  For a more detailed analysis, TopSolid'Mold offers a dedicated and direct interface with the Simcon software suite
• These tools allow you to anticipate molding problems and optimize production cycles.

TopSolid'Mold creates all necessary production-ready documents, such as:

• 2D Drawings: Automatic Views and Dimensions
• Accurate Bill of Materials:
  • List of parts to manufacture
  • List of components to buy
  • List of Ejector Pins to cut
  • Automatic Indexig
• Exploded Assemblies with Mounting/Dismounting steps

TopSolid'Electrode assist you designing your Electrodes.

• Electrode creation wizard to isolate eroding area, and define gaps
• Position mandrels to check collisions
• Add 3D control points for measurements and quality controls
• Automatic 2D drawings: single Electrode detail or global drawing
• Integrated link to TopSolid'Cam for manufacturing.

TopSolid'Mold is natively integrated with TopSolid'Pdm, providing a unique user experience.

• One Application, One User Interface
• Improves collaboration between sites, teams, and people.
• Reduces the risk of design and manufacturing errors.
• Manages Revisions of all types of documents (part, split, mold, etc.).
• Secure access to data (user's rights) and tracks all changes.
• Find documents by criteria, by references, by use cases.
