New Release of TopSolid'Wood 2005

TopSolid'Wood is an integrated design, manufacturing and management (CAD/CAM/PDM) software specialized for wood processing. TopSolid'Wood comprises comprehensive standard components and processes specific to the wood industry. It offers modeling functions, optimized assembly management and facilitated communication with customers and manufacturing.

TopSolid'Wood 2005 has just recently been released and offers the following improvements:

. A new ergonomy : Each TopSolid module now has a new and simplified ergonomy. New context bars allow the operator choose the context he wishes to work in and thus filter the functions that he does not need.

. New tool and component libraries-BLUM and LMC

• Integration with your CAM system- TopSolid'Wood is completely integrated with TopSolid'WoodCam which allows parametric design and machining schedules to be linked.

TopSolid'WoodCam automatically recovers such wood features as slots, folds, profiles, etc., simulates machining operations with the machine and generates the ISO code necessary to operate numerically controlled machines. TopSolid'Wood is the first software of its kind to achieve the complete numeric chain from design to manufacturing in the wood industry while maintaining a high level of associativity.

TopSolid'Wood is currently used by more than 170 customers in France in such domains as interior design, furniture making, point of sale furnishings, outdoor furnishings, furnishings for boats, aircraft, cars, etc.

TopSolid'Wood offers the following advantages for the operator:

•  Design and Manufacturing departments use the same data.

•  Generation of rendered images and exploded views to help your sales department.

•  Optimized Assembly Management.

•  Use of components and standard parts.

•  Data Management thanks to TopSolid'PDM and TopManufacturing (Missler Software's ERP system).

With a 60% increase in sales in France in 2004 TopSolid'Wood is now ready for its release beyond its domestic French market. TopSolid'Wood 2005 will be officially launched on the international market at, Ligna, the international wood trade fair, 02-06 May in Hannover.
