Design your molds more quickly. Ensure every step is secure. Move to serial production smoothly.
Designing an injection mold requires a balance of precision, responsiveness and technical expertise at every stage of the project. Cavity analysis, core definition, cooling channels, ejection systems, technical documentation: every decision directly influences the final quality, lead times and manufacturing costs.
TopSolid’Mold is an open and flexible CAD software package for mold design with a fully integrated PDM system. It can adapt to most CAD formats on the market whilst improving the productivity of design offices.
Fully integrated into the TopSolid ecosystem, it covers the entire injection mold design process and ensures seamless digital continuity between design, simulation and preparation for manufacture.
Data remains consistent across the TopSolid’Design, TopSolid’Cam and TopSolid’PlasticFlow environments, minimising the need for re-entry and ensuring that changes are securely managed throughout the project lifecycle.
More than just a CAD tool, TopSolid’Mold is a specialist solution designed for mold makers, combining flexibility, automation and control over technical data.
