Complete CAD Solution for Progressive Tools and Dies Makers

TopSolid'Progress opens and works with most types of CAD Data.

• Read Native and Neutral Formats
  • Catia v4, Catia v5-6, Creo, NX
  • Solidworks, Inventor, SolidEdge
  • Parasolid, STEP, IGES
  • More information
• Specific features to repair, clean and analyze imported geometries
• Conversion into sheet metal, identification of thickness and bends

TopSolid'Progress makes Strip Layout Design easier with a set of specific Features:

• Unbending with loss management, global or local unstamping
• Specialized punching operation
• Bending and forming management
• Step-by-step calculation of intermediate unstamping steps 
• Calculation of Forces

TopSolid'Progress improves your design productivity with dedicated Tooling features:

• Die Base creation
• Cutting Punches and Dies
• Bending Punches and Dies, with overbending management
• Forming Punches and Dies
• Springs Wizard

TopSolid'Progress provides Smart Components libraries of major manufacturers

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

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

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

• Visualize the complete open/close cycle of the Tool
• Check for possible collisions before going into Production
• Simulate precisely all type of Tool movements
  • Punches, Stripper
  • Angular Cams
  • Gears, Racks, Hydraulic Cylinders

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

• 2D Drawings
  • Strip Layout views, punching areas, pilot holes, operations notes
  • Specific "Open Book" Tooling Views
  • Detailed views (dimensions, tolerances, drilling tables, ...)
• Accurate Bill of Materials:
  • List of parts to manufacture
  • List of components to buy
  • Automatic Indexing
• Exploded Assemblies with Mounting/Dismounting steps

TopSolid'Progress 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, strip design, progressive die, etc.).
• Secure access to data (user's rights) and tracks all changes.
• Find documents by criteria, by references, by use cases.

TopSolid'Progress is directly connected to TopSolid'Cam and TopSolid'Wire.

Perfect integration between design department and the manufacturing department.

• TopSolid solutions are 100% compatible with each other
• Associative and parametric, no interoperability problems
• Easy to implement and flexible
• Work in a secure and collaborative environment
