Case Study: Ifanger achieves faster, more reliable complete machining with TopSolid

TopSolid optimizes complete machining for Ifanger

Ifanger, a Swiss manufacturer of high-precision tools, faced challenges with its traditional 2D design and manual programming methods, which were time-consuming and led to machine collisions and downtime. To support a new 5-axis milling machine and program their complex mill-turn centres, they needed an integrated CAD/CAM solution. They chose the TopSolid software from Missler Software to address these inefficiencies and create a more modern workstation.

The implementation of TopSolid’Cam and TopSolid’Tool by vendor TopSolid provided fully integrated CAD and CAM, enabling 3D modeling and error-free simulation that eliminated collisions. This resulted in dramatic time savings, reducing programming time for some parts from 2-3 hours to just 30 minutes. The solution significantly improved machine availability by minimizing troubleshooting and program optimization downtime, providing a crucial competitive advantage.
