TopSolid'MoldXpress is web-based "pay-per-use" solution for the design of plastic injection moulds, based on the TopSolid'Mold integrated module.
TopSolid'MoldXpress is an online "pay-per-use" solution for the design of plastic injection moulds, based on the TopSolid'Mold integrated module.
TopSolid'MoldXpress enables the automatic design of basic and medium plastic injection moulds by combining the expertise of a CAD/CAM editor and various European Technical Mold centres.
TopSolid'MoldXpress gives the operator access to a leading CAD module for mould makers without the need to heavily invest in a software.
A design assistant looks after the entire design process with automatic design rules being used throughout the process.
The TopSolid'MoldXpress operator logs on to the pay-per-use server via the Internet.
At the end of the process the operator will be advised of the cost of the study.
The user then validates the command to obtain the plans and the mould model in the chosen format (TopSolid, Parasolid, Step or Iges).
TopSolid'MoldXpress is the result of close collaboration between Missler Software, Aiju Ascamm and ISMO, technical centres in France and Spain, in addition to TecnoCim (Missler Software's official partner in Spain) The project has been cofunded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Technology.
TopSolid'MoldXpress enables calculation of the shrinkage factor, analysis of the undercuts, calculation of the parting line and the surface of the joint, automatic creation and definition of the core block and cavity, implementation of the standard carcass, systems of injection and ejection and analysis of the cooling system.
TopSolid'MoldXpress is ideal in situations where the design of the mould is quasi-automatic.
When a more comprehensive solution is required, the user is informed as soon as possible that the project cannot be completed and is redirected towards the complete mould making module TopSolid'Mold.
TopSolid'MoldXpress is an innovative solution serving the needs of mould makers designing simple moulds.
Traditionally, editors have served the needs of mould makers who design complex tools whereas TopSolid'MoldXpress is designed to quickly and effectively design basic tool assemblies.
TopSolid'MoldXpress will be demonstrated at EuroMold from 1st to 4th December 2004 in Frankfurt, and will be officially launched and presented to mould-makers throughout Europe in early 2005.
