TopSolid and the Livet Robot
Livet secondary school bought the software TopSolid to the
French editor MisslerSoftware in 2002 exactly when the
school decided to purchase a 5–axes machining milling
center. In order to make use of the machines to the maximum, we needed
a CAM able to drive in 5 axes continuous .
The school gradually widdened the equipment in terms of licences as well as in "industry" modules.
The modules of the "galaxy" used for this project are the following ones :
- Design : for the CAD of the robot and its modules :
- Draft :for the mapping of parts and work set of Tools .
- Mold : for the design of the plastic injection molds .
- Electrode : for the electrode CAD .
- Progress : for the design of Progressive cutting tools.
- Wire : for the wired EDM Machining (Electrical
Discharge Machining).
- Cam : for the millig and turning CAM.
