Most of us are well acquainted with the benefits of CAD/CAM technology when used in manufacturing. Over 90% of Westminster Tool’s customer base has migrated over to a 3D platform to design their product. Westminster Tool recognized that having an unbroken process chain, from mold design through to the finished part, was critical to a successful program. In 2002 Westminster Tool selected TopSolid® by Missler Software as its 3D CAD/CAM platform with this primary objective in mind. Further, the selection of TopSolid® provides the complete integration of its mold making modules from design through simulation and manufacturing. TopSolid’s® end-to-end 3D CAD/CAM system utilizing modules TopSolid® Mold, TopSolid® Cam, TopSolid® Electrodes and TopSolid® Wire, can provide:
- shortened mold design lead times, ultimately reducing the overall timeline of the project;
- simple creation of mold parting line surfaces;
- reduced time to create machining programs.
Product Development
One of Westminster Tool's strongest assets is our ability to assist in product design with an eye towards high volume, low-cost production molds from the beginning stages of product development. Many injection mold manufacturers can perform product development, but very few have the skills and experience necessary to take your product idea into high volume manufacturing.
Injection and Resin Transfer Mold Design
All of our designers are highly regarded by our customers for their innovation, attention to detail, technical expertise, and individual and team contributions to the advancement of mold design. Whether a customer requires a complete mold design, reverse engineering, prototypes, or short run production parts, Westminster Tool can work with them to achieve the desired results. Integrated Solutions, Inc., a US authorized representative of TopSolid® has selected Westminster Tool, Inc. as a center of excellence.
