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

Hole & 2-Axis Tactics can significantly reduce programming times by up to 70% by automatically generating toolpaths that are ready for manufacturing. With over 40 types of machining operations at your disposal, you can efficiently tackle any manufacturing project with confidence. Whether you're working with Nurbs or STL geometries, creating the desired toolpaths—including undercut options—is a straightforward process. The 5-axis milling system offers a comprehensive approach for both indexing and 4 to 5-axis machining, while also being compatible with STL files. A wide range of advanced functions such as Swarf, Drive Curve, Drive Surface, Flow Cut, Side Cut, and Point Control are included to enhance machining versatility in various situations. Additionally, a suite of verification and simulation tools ensures that the machining process is feasible, reliable, and safe. For instance, Solid Verify allows users to simulate the actual machining to assess material excess, ensuring that the machining is not only effective but also efficient, leading to superior production outcomes. Moreover, this combination of tools and functionalities helps optimize the entire manufacturing workflow, making it easier to achieve high-quality results consistently.
