TopSolid'Mold is a fully integrated CAD module designed to meet the highly specialized needs of mold makers and tool and die specialists.

It encompasses all functions, including those standard to TopSolid, which allow the creation of a mold in a fraction of the time needed compared to using a standard CAD system.

TopSolid'Mold enables calculation of the shrinkage factor, analysis of undercuts, calculation of the parting line and surface of the joint, automatic creation and definition of the core block and cavity, implementation of the standard carcass, systems of injection and ejection and analysis of the cooling system.

With TopSolid'Mold specific mold drafts (inject and eject views, specific dimensions) are easily accessible.

A few of the conveniences offered by TopSolid'Mold include: * Quick retrieval of digital data in 3D.

* Calculation of the mold parting surface and block geometries made simpler.

* Automated design of inserts.

* All the options necessary to create cooling circuits and warm channels.

* A library of thousands of parametric mold components.
