TOPSOLID SAS will enhance the productivity of TopSolid CAM by including MachineWorks GPU.
MachineWorks Ltd is pleased to announce that TOPSOLID SAS, a leading supplier of advanced CAD, CAM, PDM and ERP solutions, will enhance the productivity of TopSolid CAM by including the recently released MachineWorks GPU.
By exploiting the high level of parallelism available in modern GPUs, MachineWorks GPU is able to create an accurate in-process stock model in seconds, rather than in minutes or hours. Such a major performance improvement is expected to very significantly improve the efficiency, and hence productivity, of a wide variety of CAM workflows.
Patrice Tiberi, Deputy CEO, Director of Product Strategy and Development at TOPSOLID, said “We are of course impressed by the huge boost in performance offered by performing CNC simulations on the GPU. We expect this will open many doors for us over time and look forward to working closely with MachineWorks to drive forward this important productivity aid. We were also pleased to find that integrating the new tool was very easy – it uses the same API calls as their other stock modelling engines, so we were able to drop it in and start testing with minimal effort.”
Dr Fenqiang Lin, Managing Director of MachineWorks, commented, “We are very impressed how quickly the TOPSOLID team have moved forward with their integration and testing. TOPSOLID has been a close and important partner for MachineWorks for over twenty years now, and we’re pleased to be able to support them in contributing to a new era of manufacturing productivity.”
GPU features will be available in the next major release of TopSolid, TopSolid 2026 (v7.20) RTM, planned for January 2026.
