Benefits at a glance:

• With TopsWorks you can achieve a high processing quality with the possibility to analyze, process and correct a 3D construction on behalf of parameters like e.g. material, thickness, processing tools etc.
• TopsWorks makes the access to empirical data of the TruTops database more flexible, data that is then available to all the processing team.
• TopsWorks reduces deficient products in production by taking into consideration a “virtual prototype” using all machine-relevant information.
• React faster and more efficient to customer requests by using the direct transfer of data in form of machine readable GEO-format, without the intermediate steps of unfolding, drawing derivation and DXF-export.
• API interface for automation of recurring processes, which offers you better integration possibilities for the product development process.
• Moreover, the production documentation within the drawing derivation used for the planning of the process steps provides a high level processing reliability.

TopsWorks was developed for the user, who designs his own sheet metal parts in SOLIDWORKS and then produces on TRUMPF machines. The “visual prototype“, generated with TopsWorks-data, that considers all equipment relevant information, characterizes TopsWorks as the system that provides verifiable facts for the production of sheet metal parts.

Since TopsWorks directly accesses the database of the TruTops production system TruTops Punch and TruTops Bend, engineering and production use a uniform data base. All production-relevant data is already considered in the first steps of engineering. That means fewer rejects and fewer samples, but also shorter cycle times, higher flexibility and paperless data transfer.
