Case Study: Lufratech boosts quality and growth with TopSolid CAD/CAM software

On a growth curve - Lufratech banks on quality and customer service – and on the right tools

Lufratech, a young German manufacturer of prototypes and tools for plastic and metal forming, faced the challenge of finding a powerful yet affordable CAD/CAM software solution to support its rapid growth and high standards of quality. The company needed a system capable of handling up to 5-axis milling for its machining centers without the prohibitive cost of the surface-based software its founders had previously used. They turned to the vendor, TopSolid, for its TopSolid'Cam design and programming solution.

The solution was implemented with the help of TopSolid's sales partner, WeSt GmbH, which provided swift reactivity and customized post-processors for Lufratech's machinery. The results were immediate, enabling the company to begin operations quickly. Although the team is largely self-trained and sometimes encounters difficulties, they find the software reliable for their core needs and have always found solutions with vendor support. The implementation of TopSolid is now considered indispensable, supporting Lufratech's expansion into new markets like sheet metal forming for the automotive industry and plans for additional machinery.
