Autodesk HSMWorks Ultimate Overview
Autodesk HSMWorks Ultimate is designed from the ground up to work inside SolidWorks, providing a logical extension of the parametric SolidWorks assembly environment into the CAM world.
Experienced SolidWorks users will feel at home working with HSMWorks and can create high-quality toolpaths within minutes. New users will benefit from SolidWorks mechanical design solutions' comprehensive 2D and 3D CAD capabilities and quickly extend any knowledge gained to the CAM process, resulting in improved design quality and reduced product development time.
HSMWorks and HSMXpress are part of a broader portfolio of advanced manufacturing solutions from Autodesk, including Inventor HSM, CAM capabilities within Fusion 360, Delcam products, TruNest, TruLaser products, and Factory Design Suite.
HSMWorks supports 3+2 strategies for CNC milling machines and turning support for CNC lathes. HSMWorks Premium 2016 includes all of these capabilities and adds simultaneous 5-axis machining. HSMXpress 2016 is a free product that provides 2.5-axis milling. Both solutions provide users of SolidWorks software with powerful integrated CAM tools that improve the productivity of their design to manufacturing workflows.
Software HSMWorks is designed to generate the smoothest toolpaths possible, reduce machining time, improve the surface quality and minor tool wear, and extend machine tool life. HSMWorks features innovative toolpath strategies, like Adaptive Clearing, that typically reduce roughing time by four or more compared to conventional roughing and increase tool life by as much as ten, depending on material hardness.
This program, HSMWorks, includes all conventional machining strategies, including parallel, contour, pocket, scallop, radial, spiral, and pencil, familiar to most CAM users. HSMWorks takes these strategies further by generating smooth linking moves that reduce machining time and increase tool and machine tool life.
