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

Predator Virtual CNC software simulates and verifies the operation of your CNC machines from your computer. Simulating the machining process offline can help you save time, money, scrapped parts, tool breaks, and machine crashes. It also improves safety and productivity. Predator Virtual CNC™, supports all standard vertical, horizontal, and complex machine configurations with 2-5 axis. Our flexible reverse post processors allow for user-definable machine tool configurations. This allows standard VMCs as well as HMCs to work with us. All standard milling, turning, and drilling cycles are supported. Advanced cycles, such as subs, macros and variables, logic codes, and trig codes, are all supported. Predator Virtual CNC is optimized to 3-axis surface milling and can handle large files without running out. Processing speeds of up to 3,000 blocks per minute are possible, while maintaining the required accuracy. Predator Virtual CNC 5 Axis also offers 3+2 support.
