Autodesk HSMWorks 2016 R1.40216
HSMWorks 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 right at home working with HSMWorks and will be able to create high-quality toolpaths within minutes. New users will benefit from the comprehensive 2D and 3D CAD capabilities of SolidWorks mechanical design solutions and quickly extend any knowledge gained to the CAM process, resulting in improved design quality and reduced product development time.
Best in Class Toolpaths
HSMWorks is designed to generate the smoothest toolpaths possible resulting in reduced machining time, improved surface quality, less tool wear and extended machine tool life. HSMWorks features innovative toolpath strategies, like Adaptive Clearing, that typically reduces roughing time by a factor of 4 or more compared to conventional roughing, and increases tool life by as much as a factor of 10 depending on material hardness.
HSMWorks includes all of the 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 increases tool and machine tool life.
Modern Architecture
HSMWorks utilizes the latest technologies including native 64-bit support for users of the 64-bit version of SolidWorks resulting in superior performance, especially when working on large or complex designs.
HSMWorks is designed to take advantage of the latest workstation technologies including 4 – 24 core systems. Multi-processor/multicore support dramatically speeds generation of complex toolpaths and is beneficial not only when generating multiple operations or rebuilding complex parts after a design change, but also when generating a single toolpath.
Users are able to continue working inside SolidWorks while toolpaths are calculated in the background due to HSMWorks’ advanced task manager capabilities.
Distributed CAM
The HSMWorks Distributed CAM server enables users to respond even faster to design changes, by automatically utilizing idle PCs on the local network to reduce toolpath calculation time. Distributed CAM is automatically used by HSMWorks when installed on selected PCs and requires no additional setup or interaction from the user.
Best-in-class 3D strategies
HSMWorks strives to generate the shortest and smoothest toolpaths possible, resulting in reduced machining time, improved surface quality, less tool wear, and extended machine tool life.
HSMWorks generates surface finish using machining technologies that incorporate smooth/tangent lead in/out moves to keep the tool moving in a smooth motion, helping to reduce machine wear and tool marks.
3+2 machining
All 2D and 3D strategies support 3+2 machining (5-axis positioning) by rotating the part or the head of the machine tool through a combination of A, B, and C axis motions. Create 3+2 operations by simply selecting a work plane for the operation. HSMWorks takes care of the rest by finding the most efficient rotations to orient the part. Once parts are positioned, all machining strategies are available. Tools and holders are gouge protected for all strategies that normally support this feature.
3D toolpath tilting
Many parts contain deep cavity areas and small radii that need to be machined with small-diameter tools. With HSMWorks, these areas can be machined effectively by automatically tilting the tool and holder away from the workpiece, enabling the use of shorter tools to reduce vibration and deflection.
5-axis milling
HSMWorks includes advanced 5-axis features include swarf for machining using the side of the tool, multiaxis contour for machining along a contact curve, multiaxis flow for using tooltip along a surface, and 3D toolpath tilting to reach deep cavity areas and small radii.
Twin-turret, sub-spindle and mill/turn
HSMWorks supports programming twin-turret and twin-spindle lathes using all traditional turning operations. Mill/turn operations are supported when combined with the HSMWorks 2D or 3D milling option.
Traditional turning
HSMWorks features all the traditional turning toolpaths, including facing, roughing, grooving, threading, drilling, and profiling. For drilling and hole making, choose between pre-programmed machining cycles and canned cycles, or use a combination of both.
