TopSolid Wire - Solution for tool design

When tools have been designed in 3D it is often necessary to remove certain areas by wire EDM. These repetitive and tedious operations for manufacturing preparation add little value to the product itself. With TopSolid'Wire, adapted and optimized machine codes can be created in a short timeframe on the basis of any 2D or 3D file (wire, surface or volume model) suited for straight cuts up to 4 axes.
