Case Study: Kersten Maschinenbau achieves flexible high-precision manufacturing with TopSolid’Cam

Flexible Manufacturing with TopSolid’Cam

Kersten Maschinenbau GmbH, a contract manufacturer of highly complex precision components, faced a challenge in programming its state-of-the-art multi-tasking machines for a growing number of parts. Their previous method of creating programs directly on the machines led to long production downtimes. The company chose the TopSolid’Cam software from vendor TopSolid, implemented with the help of partner Moldtech, to address this need.

The solution involved using TopSolid’Cam to program machines offline, which included full machine simulation and collision control. This allowed Kersten to optimally exploit their machines' capabilities, significantly reduce setup times, and improve productivity. The result was a highly flexible production process, very high customer satisfaction, and a more efficient workflow, achieved through the powerful CAD-CAM integration and postprocessor support provided by TopSolid and Moldtech.
