[edit] Presentation
TopSolid is a 3D computer-aided design (CAD) software which is edited and developed by the company Missler Software. At the outset the software worked on Unix machines whereas today it works exclusively on Windows PCs.
The TopSolid range of software includes a whole family of software: from the more general, mechanical oriented (TopSolid’Design) to job specific solutions: sheet metal (TopSolid’Fold), wood (TopSolid’Wood), toolmaking: TopSolid’Mold for mold makers and TopSolid’Progress for press tool designers. TopSolid also incorporates an integrated Computer-aided_manufacturing (CAM) line of products: Mechanical machining (TopSolid’Cam), sheet metal (TopSolid’PunchCut), wood (TopSolid’WoodCam), wire electroerosion (TopSolid’Wire). TopSolid also incorporates a 2D draft module (TopSolid’Draft) and a structural calculation module (TopSolid’Castor).
TopSolid is, therefore, a CAD/CAM solution based on the geometric modeller ParaSolid. It is, of course, capable of reading and creating files in all available formats as well as in such formats as Catia and ParaSolid.
TopSolid is sold worldwide and has been rated as the 2nd CAD/CAM editor in France behind Dassault Systèmes (software Catia and SolidWorks). It has been rated as the 1st French CAM editor and is ranked among the Top 10 CAD/CAM editors worldwide.
