A TopSolid Case Study
Les Harpes Camac, France's sole harp manufacturer, faced the challenge of managing the immense complexity of designing and producing their instruments, which consist of nearly 2,000 parts. To permanently improve acoustics and better control modifications, they needed an integrated CAD/CAM solution. They selected the TopSolid software from Missler Software to serve as this tool for both design and manufacturing.
Implementing TopSolid's 3D CAD/CAM software allowed Camac Harps to create detailed models and simulations of their harps, enriching a knowledge base of part drawings and machining templates. The solution from TopSolid significantly boosted reactivity by shortening design and manufacturing cycles. For example, choosing between component types was reduced from a week to a single day, and programming for 40 different fork models was automated into a single program. This dramatically improved the company's efficiency and the precision of their instruments.
