In today's difficult economic climate, com
panies in the sheet metal industry are fac
ing various challenges such as the need for
continuous adaptation to the market, con
stant improvement of productivity and
quality, and rapid technological develop
ment. Missler Software has designed a
completely integrated CAD / CAM and ERP
solution for companies in the sheet metal
industry. This software is powerful, flexi
ble, adaptable and equipped with func
tions to facilitate communication. It helps
companies to realize significant gains in
productivity and simplifies data manage
ment within the enterprise from design to
manufacturing.
Q Creation of parts and assemblies
Q Retrieval and cleanup of digital model definitions provided by the customer
Q Processes specific for sheet metal: vessel fabrication, deformations, riveting, etc.
Q Libraries containing standard parts and customized components
Q Parameterizable unfolding operations and native link to the CAM software
Q Perfect utilization of all manufacturing techniques: punching, cutting with 2 to 3 axes, piping
Q Management of processes and all corresponding quotations
With TopSolid you can design complete sheet metal models in 3D, pass it on to manufacturing (punching, laser cutting), edit associated drawings and generate superior visualizations. TopSolid is the all-in-one software solution!

POWERFUL AND GENERAL CAD SOLUTION WITH PERFECT INTEGRATION OF INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS
Q TopSolid'Fold combines the power of the generic CAD solution TopSolid and, at the same time, provides numerous special functions for sheet metal processing and vessel fabrication.
Q Creation of sheet metal parts from simple surfaces, volume models (housing) or libraries
Q Unfolding of models: corner and edge breaking, grooves
Q Enhancement of model shapes: dragging of boundaries
Q Control of bends: reverse bends, round bends, bend by bend (new bend).
Q Fine machining: holes, notches, deformations
RETRIEVING AND PROCESSING DIGITAL DESIGN DATA
Q Créatole supports suppliers in exchanging data with customers by allowing the retrieval of the most common CAD formats as well as the conversion of these models into sheet metal parts:
- Numerous standard and native interfaces
- Retouching tools (sewing, etc.)
- Analysis and conversion into sheet metal parts as well as consistency and quality check of the resulting model
- Recognition of thickness, bends and deformations
- Modification of resulting models (bend angles, thickness, etc.)
TopSolid'Fold benefits from the powerful functions of TopSolid: welded steel parts and miter cuts, assembly and associated techniques (screwing, bolting, riveting, welding), drawing creation, bills of material, etc.
DU PLUS SIMPLE AU PLUS COMPLEXE
Q TopSolid'Fold se caractérise par une conception totalement inédite pour la mise à plat de toutes pièces de tôle en tenant compte des pertes aux plis et des impératifs d'usinage et de pliage. Les règles de dépliage sont personnalisables et traitent les pièces de chaudronnerie (croquage…)
Libraries: standard and customized deformation components, rounded parts (vessel fabrication), profiles (pipes)

most appropriate standard tools, recognition of spe-cific tools, utilization of customized macros for man-ufacturing
- Automatic turret assembly and/or utilization of pre-defined turrets, permanent graphic visualization
- Slitting/common cuts, shearing
- Management of part removal and chippings: micro-attachments, hatches, unloaders
- Integration of optional equipment: loader for sheet metal parts, unloader for parts, removal trucks, pal-letization
COMPLETE AUTOMATION OF PUNCHING
Q TopSolid'PunchCut is an industry-specific solution that integrates all manufacturing requirements. The combination of functions for punching and cutting makes for a powerful programming system, rendering all processes within the enterprise secure and flexible. The integrated user interface provides industry-specific functions that are adapted to the preferred machine technology and guarantees optimum flexibility for any enterprise.
ONE SOLUTION FOR ALL TECHNOLOGIES
TopSolid'Cut calculates optimum tool paths in order to ensure optimized and secure machine operation.
TopSolid'Cut allows you to machine complex curves, e.g. curves that result from unfolding operations, and to modify text with Windows fonts. Tool paths are split into lines and arcs in an optimum manner.
Q TopSolid'Cut allows the controlling of all types of cut-ting machines (laser cutting, plasma cutting, flame cutting, water jet cutting, cutting with multiple heads, etc.)
Q Tool path calculation is performed automatically and inte-grates approach paths and additional cuts (loopings, etc.). Cutting parameters represent an important element of laser cutting and are determined individually for each machine and material thickness. They also take into account different gases used for cutting. TopSolid'Cut is a comprehensive solution offering all functionalities for efficiently controlling markings, common cuts and cuts with multiple torches.

Q TopSolid'CutTubes is an indispensable tool for con-trolling the third axis on laser cutting machines for tubes:
- Parametric and associative design of tubes and tap-pings in 3D with TopSolid
- Cutting of round, square, and rectangular tubes - Manual and automatic functions for nesting multiple
tubes - Common cut control - Simulation of tube cutting in 3D - Export of simulation with TopSolid'Viewer
TOPSOLID'CUTTUBES
Q TopSolid'PunchCut is bidirectionally linked with Missler's TopManufacturing solution for ERP. Consolidated parts can automatically be nested on one tube. This integration with a CAD / CAM solution is unique on the market.
The PDM module associated with the TopSolid'Fold CAD solution enables technical data management for assemblies as well as version control.
PERFECT INTEGRATION WITH MANAGE-MENT AND COMMUNICATION TOOLS
Q Thanks to more than 20 years of industry experi-ence, more than 300 simple and highly complex machine types are controlled by Missler's CAD /CAM solutions. Post processors are adapted according to the customers' demands.
Q The generation of documents related to manufactur-ing is an indispensable factor for achieving high-quality products. Workshop sheets are automatically derived from the simulation process, thus making all data per-manently available within the enterprise. These sheets are customized and therefore contain information that is related to management and/or manufacturing.
