New module speeds progressive die design
Missler Software and AutoForm Engineering have successfully integrated AutoForm software technology for unfolding sheet metal parts in the next release of TopSolid'Progress.
CAD module aids progressive tool design
TopSolid'Progress is a CAD module for progressive tool design that enables the successful blanking of a sheet metal part and the design of the strip in half the time needed by general CAD software.
The new version, TopSolid'Mold 2005, boasts many new functions and a simplified user interface.
Dialogue boxes replace many operations which previously were manually executed.
TopSolid'Mold 2005 incorporates new tools to help the user manage model changes (surface analysis, sewing tools, parting elements repair and update).
A new a lifter subsystem lifts and pushes simultaneously to eject the part.
The use of hot runners is an important innovation in TopSolid'Mold 2005.
This allows the melted plastic to flow directly into the mould from the hot runner.
Thus, there is no wasted left over plastic material resulting from the melted plastic being poured through the stalk.
TopSolid'Mold 2005 enables easier management of multi-cavities and allows the automatic creation of the multi-cavity through the addition of the easy-to-use dialogue box which guides the operator through the process.
Management of the core/cavity block corner is now fully automated allowing the automatic insertion of rectangular moulds into structures with right angles.
A new function allows the selection of several parting lines to create flat and trimmed surfaces.
Through the addition of the new dialogue box operators can now manage complex shapes more easily by creating the insert using TopSolid'Electrode functionalities.
TopSolid'Mold is the only CAD supplier which has incorporated the automatic trimming of superimposed heads.
This is especially useful for small parts and makes the life of the mould maker easier.
In addition, a pocket is automatically created in the ejection plates and this pocket is recognised by TopSolid'Cam.
TopSolid'Mold 2005 allows the opportunity to modify the diameter of all drillings at the same time and the graphical management of the direction of the cooling pipes.
The operator can now customise a table of co-ordinates with different information on standard components.
TopSolid'Mold 2005 incorporates new subassembly components and the new libraries: Fodesco, PCS Inch, Progressive Inch and DMS.
