Integrated CAM for SOLIDWORKS and Inventor. Inventor HSM and HSMWorks CAM software simplify the machining workflow with CAD-embedded 2.5-axis to 5-axis milling, turning, and mill-turn capabilities. Available only as part of the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection.
HSM Features: Adaptive Clearing Reduce roughing time by a factor of 4 or more compared to conventional roughing, and increase tool life.
CAD/CAM integration Use the familiar tools and user interface in Inventor or SOLIDWORKS software.
AnyCAD in Inventor Design changes in the source CAD system get automatically updated downstream in drawings and toolpaths.
Fast toolpath calculation time Multiprocessor/multicore CPU support reduces toolpath calculation times, especially on large or complex designs.
2.5-axis machining Strategies for 2D machining on flat planes. Included in the free express and regular versions of HSMWorks and Inventor HSM
3-axis milling and 3+2 positioning Choose from several 3-axis styles, or select a work plane, and perform 3+2 axis positioning with the same CAM strategies.
Multiaxis operations Simultaneous 4- and 5-axis features for machining complex models include multiaxis contouring and 3D toolpath tilting.
Turning and mill-turn Improve productivity with traditional turning, facing, grooving, and boring functions. Includes support for live tooling mill-turning. and more...
