Case Study: Leipert Maschinenbau achieves higher process reliability and productivity with TopSolid

Leipert Maschinenbau - Customer Case Study

Leipert Maschinenbau, a manufacturer specializing in high-precision machining of oversize, heavyweight parts, faced challenges with complex job order production. Their traditional 2D CAM programming was prone to time-consuming and expensive errors and collisions, a critical risk as they primarily machine single, custom parts. To increase productivity and program quality, they implemented the TopSolid’Cam 3D CAD/CAM solution from vendor TopSolid.

The TopSolid’Cam solution provided powerful 3D simulation and collision control, allowing Leipert to program highly complex, five-axis machining steps that were not previously feasible. This increased process reliability, reduced errors, and enabled the company to take on more complex orders. While quantifying exact savings is difficult, Leipert estimates a 20-30% productivity increase with TopSolid and has become more competitive, securing new business from major clients like a renowned automobile manufacturer.
