TopSolid’Cam 2009, from Missler Software, can manage virtually all machining processes and is capable of piloting turning, two-axis milling, three-axis milling, four- and five-axis continued milling, four- and five-axis continued turning, synchronization and complex simulation.
The software is designed to simplify machine programming, reduce cycle times, improve quality and reduce manufacturing costs (notably by prolonging the life span of tools).
Some of the major improvements in this version include tolerance management of imported parts; automatic four-axis roughing cycles; drilling automation of cooling circuits for mold makers; paraxial roughing on a milling machine; five-axis machining of composite materials; and customized approach and retract movements.
