A complete wood CAD/CAM solution. TopSolid’Wood is an integrated design, manufacturing and management software specialised for wood processing. It is a uniquely integrated CAD/CAM wood solution that meets the needs of designers, manufacturers and subcontractors in the wood working sector.
TopSolid’Wood is completed by TopSolid’WoodCam, an integrated CAM solution which automatically produces the ISO code, via a post processor, to manufacture parts on CNC machinery. A real data flow exists between the design office and the manufacturing facility. This prevents numerous potential communication and technical errors and thereby generates considerable time gains.
At a glance
3D Modelling
Modelling showing material removal with TopSolid’Wood’s job-specific functions like turning, sawing, dadoing, rabbiting, dowelling, edge profiling, rail and stile profiling.
Component libraries including their maching processes
An optimised assembly management
TopSolid’Wood manages the assembling of several thousands of parts and components
Data exchange with partners
TopSolid’Wood also interfaces with standard import and export software:
Communicate with ease
Direct link with manufacturing
TopSolid’Wood offers a direct interface to the most common software programmes:
The integration of TopSolid’WoodCam with TopSolid’Wood can be seen in the following cases:

At a glance
- Powerful and parametric solid modeller
- Wood specific functionalities
- Complete CAD/CAM integration
- High level of customisation
- Powerful interfaces
- Generation of commercial and marketing information
3D Modelling
Modelling showing material removal with TopSolid’Wood’s job-specific functions like turning, sawing, dadoing, rabbiting, dowelling, edge profiling, rail and stile profiling.
- Assembly processes by using components selected from the menu such as dowels, cams, dados, blind dados, screws, dovetails, as well as custom joinery techniques.
- Positioning assistant for edges and layering
Component libraries including their maching processes
- Hardware (assembly, rotation, sliding, etc.)
- Accessories (handles, rails, wedges, etc.)
- Tools (shaping, saws, drilling, etc.)
- Edges (thin or thick edgebanding, T-mould etc.)
- Shapes (cornices, skirting, ramps, etc.)
- Blum and LMC libraries
An optimised assembly management
TopSolid’Wood manages the assembling of several thousands of parts and components
- In place design: a piece of furniture can be entirely designed in one file
- Bottom-up design: assembly of various subassemblies and parts using positioning constraints
- Kinematics: simulation of normal kinematic links (runners, grooves, pivots, etc.) and collision avoidance
Data exchange with partners
TopSolid’Wood also interfaces with standard import and export software:
- 2D Designs: DXF, DWG
- 3D Models: IGES, STEP
- Image formats like BMP, JPEG, TIFF
- 3D PDF: Adobe Reader
Communicate with ease
- Multi-draft generation with automatic dimensioning
- Assembly and other shop sheets with personalised views and title blocks
- Filtered BOMs with cutting lists
Direct link with manufacturing
TopSolid’Wood offers a direct interface to the most common software programmes:
- Export to cutting optimisation software (Ardis, CadCode etc.)
- 2D export to numerically controlled production centres (WoodWop, Xilog, BiesseWorks, CadCode, etc.)
The integration of TopSolid’WoodCam with TopSolid’Wood can be seen in the following cases:
- Operations carried out in the design stage are recognised by TopSolid’WoodCam (rough milling, grooving, surfacing, drilling, profiling, routing, doweling, etc.)
- An automatic creation of tools in the CAM database taking into account their CAD definition
- A correlation between materials defined in the CAD and the CAM database, for an automatic regulation and precision of cutting conditions
- Complete associativity between the models defined in the CAD and the CAM preparation
- All modifications carried out on the design are automatically recovered by the CAM software up until the generation of the ISO code.
