4. Process Improvement
As an integrated design and production solution TopSolid’Wood supports best practice processes. With an integrated
design and production solution you no longer need to work with the old consecutive approach, where each step in the
process must be done one after the other. With this non-integrated process if you make a change to the design, you must
go back through these steps one by one and redo them.
With TopSolid’Wood your business can now adopt the time saving concurrent approach resulting from its integrated
design. This is where multiple steps in the process can be done at the same time. As an integrated solution all elements
are fully associated with each other, so if you need to make a change to your design then all elements automatically update.
This reduces setout time and allows faster time to market.
TopSolid’Wood is a new generation solution that sets itself apart from the competition:
• Supports best practice processes to reduce setout time
• In Built Specialised Wood functionality
• True 3D modelling system perfect for complex custom designs including curves
• Superior library capability for standard units
• Powerful parametrics to allow changes to design in seconds
• Advanced visual machining that is fully production ready
• Integrated CAM functionality
• 2.5, 3, 4 & 5 Axis capability
• Advanced interfaces to specialised nesting software and all major CNC machinery
companies & software
DESIGN TO BUILD
5. With TopSolid’Woods advanced features, integrated design & production functionality and
