TopSolid Electrode - Swift electrode creation

Automatic creation of electrode geometry
Prolongation of drafts if required
Offsets for electrical discharge gaps
Reliable collision detection thanks to a stable environment
Direct link to manufacturing
Rapid creation of precise drawings for the shop floor
Transfer of measurements to be verified
Productivity gains of around 30% 
  
Time savings in electrode design
When tools have been designed in 3D it is often necessary to design and manufacture dozens of electrodes. These repetitive and tedious operations add little value to the product itself. TopSolid'Electrode allows designers to quickly create electrodes. TopSolid'Wire enables rapid calculation of tool paths for wire EDM machines. These solutions enable precious time savings and increased process safety, forming an indispensable supplement for CAD/CAM environments.
