Description

Create and produce CAM toolpaths seamlessly without the need to switch between different software applications. Streamline your operations and minimize rework with integrated 2.5- to 5-axis milling, turning, and mill-turn capabilities right within your CAD environment. With a Fusion 360 subscription, HSMWorks is readily available to you. You can leverage a user-friendly interface that integrates effortlessly with robust design tools, thanks to the complete compatibility with SOLIDWORKS. Enhance your productivity with an extensive range of 2.5 and 3-axis milling strategies, ensuring efficient workflows. Moreover, simplify machine setup and achieve tighter tolerances through intuitive multi-axis programming. Experience the advantage of visualizing your machine tool's motion with simulations that encompass the spindle, fixtures, and all essential components of the machine. Easily program turning tasks, from straightforward 2-axis operations to complex mill-turn strategies, all while maintaining a streamlined workflow. Additionally, gain access to sophisticated design capabilities by associatively linking your SOLIDWORKS files to Fusion 360, making this feature exclusively available with your Fusion 360 subscription. This integration not only enhances your design process but also fosters collaboration between teams.

Description

MacroFusion™ is a cutting-edge platform designed for CNC macro automation, enabling the transformation of repetitive CAM-generated G-code into smart, reusable macro programs. This innovative software assesses repetitive machining actions and condenses lengthy NC programs into streamlined macro logic utilizing variables, loops, conditions, and automated workflows. Key features encompass: • Conversion from CAM to macro • Advanced pattern recognition capabilities • Automation through WHILE loops • Machining driven by variables • Builder for custom canned cycles • Preview of toolpaths and visualization of macros • A macro workbench with real-time simulation • Optimization and compression of G-code • Logic for reusable machining processes It also facilitates sophisticated workflows that involve: • Helical interpolation techniques • Trochoidal slot milling processes • Spiral pocket milling operations • Automation for bolt-circle tasks • Machining of figure-8 oil grooves • Face sweeping methodologies • Advanced wave surfacing techniques MacroFusion™ is compatible with a variety of macro-capable CNC controls, including those from Fanuc, Haas, Siemens, and Okuma, making it a versatile choice for manufacturers looking to enhance their machining efficiency and productivity. With its comprehensive toolset, this platform significantly streamlines CNC programming, contributing to improved operational performance.
