The remaining 20% consists of specific processes: specialized calculations, interfaces with existing systems, recurring automation tasks, and so on. These are all tasks that are costly in terms of both time and effort\u2014and risky, to boot. <\/span><\/p>\n This limitation of standard solutions hinders productivity and competitiveness. Today, modern workshops need a CAD\/CAM workflow that is seamlessly integrated into their ecosystem. And it is precisely at this level that digital continuity becomes a strategic issue. <\/span><\/p>\n TopSolid\u2019Api addresses this challenge by transforming your CAD\/CAM software into a customized business solution while automating data flows between your various systems. Here\u2019s how it works. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n TopSolid\u2019Ads<\/a> is an SDK (<\/span>Software Development Kit<\/span><\/i>) that provides access to the core of the TopSolid engine. Unlike generic APIs that allow only limited actions, TopSolid\u2019Ads offers <\/span>full access to the software’s native features<\/b>: modeling, calculations, data management, toolpath generation, and more\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n The platform is built on modern technologies, which make development accessible to technical teams who are thoroughly familiar with these environments. This technical advantage facilitates the <\/span>creating applications that are fully integrated with TopSolid<\/b>, or<\/span> developing standalone tools<\/b> that harness the power of CAD\/CAM platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n See also \u2013<\/span> API: How can TopSolid be tailored to your needs?>><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n TopSolid\u2019Ads targets three types of users.<\/span><\/p>\n First<\/span>, companies with very specific needs<\/b> and whose business processes are not covered by standard solutions. Specifically, the tool allows you to develop your own calculation modules and directly integrate your sizing algorithms or management rules into the design process. The result: the engineering department can automatically apply best practices, <\/span>eliminating the risk of error.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Second, system integrators and partner software vendors whose <\/span>vertical solutions are designed for specific industries (carpentry, metalwork, interior design, etc.). In these contexts, TopSolid\u2019Ads allows you to create interfaces <\/span> fully tailored to their end customers<\/b> (custom data entry forms, configuration wizards for standard products, business dashboards, etc.).<\/span><\/p>\n Finally, R&D departments and advanced engineering firms that want to innovate in their methods and<\/span> build bridges with their existing ecosystem<\/b>. For these stakeholders, TopSolid\u2019Ads provides access to the CAD engine to develop custom connectors with their ERP<\/a>, PLM, or any other production management tool. This ensures controlled flow of technical data and thereby enhances competitiveness. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The difference between TopSolid\u2019Ads and other APIs on the market lies in the<\/span> support provided by TOPSOLID<\/a><\/b>, thanks to a team dedicated exclusively to making the documentation easier to understand<\/span>.<\/p>\n This partnership model ensures:<\/span><\/p>\n The result: a development project that is less exposed to risks and truly effective, enabling faster deployment of your business applications.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While TopSolid\u2019Ads lets you create custom features, TopSolid\u2019Automation<\/a> lets you <\/span>deploy them at scale<\/b>. How? By automating repetitive processes and connecting TopSolid to your digital production chain. <\/span><\/p>\n The tool is based on three pillars: data exchange, process automation, and automation of program import and generation.<\/span><\/p>\n In practical terms, TopSolid\u2019Automation streamlines the flow of information between TopSolid and your other systems,<\/span> as data is transferred automatically without the need for manual re-entry<\/b>.. This applies to bill of materials (from the ERP system), retrieving technical parameters from a configurator, and exchanging data with a management system.<\/span><\/p>\n Finally, TopSolid\u2019Automation supports the automation of data imports and the <\/span>generation of technical documents<\/b> (drawings, machining, ISO code, etc.). These processes can run autonomously, ensuring that your CAD\/CAM workflow operates continuously\u2014and always with maximum efficiency. <\/span><\/p>\n >>><\/span> See also \u2013TopSolid\u2019Automation: Automation at Your Fingertips<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n TopSolid\u2019Api<\/a> is fully aligned with the Industry 4.0 approach by creating a<\/span> continuous digital workflow, from the design office to the shop floor<\/b>. And for good reason: this new era depends on the ability to share information seamlessly, in real time, across all links in the value chain.<\/span><\/p>\n This approach ensures<\/span> interoperability with your existing ecosystem<\/b>. TopSolid thus plays a central role in ensuring complete traceability of technical data, as well as responsiveness and reliability.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While many API solutions leave their users more or less to fend for themselves, TOPSOLID takes a partnership-based approach that places modernity and clarity at the heart of the process. The goal is to provide you with a <\/span>True, in-depth access to the CAD engine<\/b>, without complexity,<\/span> and with highly advanced<\/span> customization options<\/b>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The true strength of TopSolid\u2019Api lies not in its individual components, but in how <\/span>they complement one another<\/b>. On the one hand, TopSolid\u2019Ads allows you to tailor TopSolid to the specific requirements of your business. On the other hand, TopSolid\u2019Automation enables these developments to operate at scale by automating their execution and orchestrating daily data flows. <\/span><\/p>\n This integration transforms standard CAD\/CAM software into a truly <\/span>integrated industrial platform. All of this, tailored to your specific needs and your own digital ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n As for the benefits, they are clearly evident in<\/span> the day-to-day operations of your teams<\/b>: time saved by automating repetitive tasks, elimination of data entry errors, improved quality, reduced scrap\u2026 Full traceability of technical data also facilitates audits and ensures compliance. Finally, agility is enhanced, as adjustments no longer depend on software vendors but on your own priorities. <\/span><\/p>\n This technical autonomy, combined with support from the TOPSOLID team, puts you in a unique position to address the challenges of digital transformation. It\u2019s no longer a matter of simply enduring technological changes, but rather of <\/span>customize them to suit your pace and goals<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Optimizing methods, developing industry-specific solutions, creating tailored tools\u2026 More than just a technological investment, TopSolid\u2019Api serves as a catalyst for transformation, helping you build the digital production chain you truly need\u2014both today and tomorrow. <\/span><\/p>\n Find all the information about TopSolid\u2019Api in our dedicated brochure<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\nDevelop business applications integrated with your CAD environment using TopSolid\u2019Ads<\/h2>\n
