Case Study: IWC achieves 50% faster NC programming with TopSolid'Cam from TopSolid

IWC - Customer Case Study

IWC, a renowned Swiss manufacturer of luxury watches, faced a challenge modernizing its NC programming for casing production. As the company moved to advanced 3D CAD systems and modern 5-axis machining equipment, its previous simple NC programming system was no longer sufficient. To create complex watch parts economically, IWC needed a high-end CAM solution and selected TopSolid'Cam from Missler Software after a market analysis.

The TopSolid solution provided a highly intuitive NC programming system that mirrored the logic of the machine mechanics. It enabled realistic simulation of the entire machining process, including collision detection for complex, multi-clamping operations. The implementation of TopSolid'Cam resulted in a 50% time saving in NC programming and made the production of their current, intricate casing designs economically feasible. The precision and capabilities of TopSolid were a perfect match for IWC's high standards.
