Automate, Extend and Connect Your Industrial Environment
TOPSOLID Custom Development enables you to adapt the platform to your company’s specific processes, automate repetitive operations and connect your existing software and machine ecosystem.
It is designed for environments where standard features do not fully address specific operational requirements, including CAD/CAM automation, ERP and production management system integration, and the development of internal tools connected to the digital thread.
Automate Design and Production Processes
In industrial environments, a significant amount of time is spent on repetitive tasks: generating similar parts, updating technical documentation, extracting data or preparing manufacturing files.
Custom development makes it possible to integrate automation directly into TopSolid, reducing manual tasks and improving process reliability.
These automations can include:
- generating parametric parts or assemblies
- automatically producing technical documentation
- extracting and structuring PDM data
- applying standardised design or manufacturing rules
The objective is to make workflows more reliable and enable teams to focus on higher-value tasks.
Adapt TopSolid to Your Business Rules
Every industrial company develops its own working methods, including internal standards, calculation rules, validation processes and specific design practices.
When these requirements are not covered natively, custom development makes it possible to create functionality directly integrated into the TopSolid environment.
This can include adapting:
- design and industrialisation rules
- technical validation workflows
- user interfaces to specific operational requirements
- internal data processing
The objective is to maintain a single, consistent and sustainable environment without adding layers of external tools.
Connect TopSolid to Your Industrial Information System
TopSolid operates within a broader ecosystem that may include ERP, production management, PLM, technical databases and manufacturing systems.
Custom development makes it possible to establish structured and reliable data exchanges between these systems.
These integrations can include:
- synchronising product data with an ERP system
- transferring bills of materials or routing information to a production management system
- connecting with PLM or MES solutions
- communicating with manufacturing equipment or production systems
The objective is to ensure data continuity throughout the industrial lifecycle, without manual data re-entry or disruption.
TOPSOLID API: The Technical Foundation for Custom Development
The TOPSOLID APIs provide technical access to the platform.
They enable direct interaction with the software's core business objects—including parts, assemblies, technical documents and PDM data—and support the development of extensions and automations.
They can be used to:
- develop advanced automation within the software
- create interfaces with external applications
- integrate TopSolid into an existing information system
- trigger automated industrial processes
Additional Project Resources and Technical Support
When your teams face increased workloads or when you need to accelerate project delivery, we can provide engineering technicians with advanced expertise in TopSolid.
You remain in control of the project, while TOPSOLID provides additional resources that can quickly become operational within your teams.
Helping Your Teams Build Technical Independence
TopSolid'Services provides advanced training and tailored technical support delivered by our experts.
These services help your teams master the advanced capabilities of TopSolid'Design, TopSolid'Steel and TopSolid'Cam. Once the fundamentals have been acquired through standard training, tailored support can accelerate the development of your employees' technical skills.
Explore Development with TOPSOLID
Different development needs call for different approaches. Explore the technologies and capabilities available to extend, automate, and integrate your TopSolid environment.
Extending Rather Than Increasing Complexity
TOPSOLID Custom Development is based on a simple principle: extending your existing environment rather than multiplying external tools.
This approach helps maintain a consistent and centralised system, limit fragile interfaces between software applications, reduce the overall complexity of the information system and preserve the continuity of industrial data.
