Software company Machine Works announced that Topsolid, a supplier of advanced CAD, CAM, PDM and ERP solutions, will enhance the productivity of it’s CAM solution by including the recently released Machine Works GPU.

By exploiting the high level of parallelism available in modern GPUs, Machine Works GPU is able to create an accurate in-process stock model in seconds, rather than in minutes or hours. Such a performance improvement is expected to significantly improve the efficiency, and hence productivity, of a wide variety of CAM workflows.

Patrice Tiberi, Deputy CEO, Director of Product Strategy and Development at Topsolid, said “We are of course impressed by the huge boost in performance offered by performing CNC simulations on the GPU. We expect this will open many doors for us over time and look forward to working closely with Machine Works to drive forward this important productivity aid. We were also pleased to find that integrating the new tool was very easy – it uses the same API calls as their other stock modelling engines, so we were able to drop it in and start testing with minimal effort.”

GPU features will be available in the next major release of Topsolid, Topsolid 2026 (v7.20) RTM, planned for January 2026.
