World-Class HSM Module – fully integrated in SolidWorks

Experience 3D machining taken to an entirely new level of smoothness, efficiency and smart machining with the finest finish and surface tools available anywhere for 3d machining.

Speeds up slower machine tools and unleashes the speed of faster machines by eliminating inefficient, unnecessary moves or air cutting.

Let us show you how HSM takes 3D Machining performance to a level you have only dreamt of, all with your current hardware.

The SolidCAM HSM module features several enhancements to CAM technology that make high-speed operations possible, including: avoiding sharp angles in the tool path, ensuring that the tool stays in contact with the part as much as possible, optimizing non-machining moves to reduce air-cutting and generating smooth and tangential in/out leads.

Any HSM 3D machining strategy can be controlled by specifying the surface slope-angle to be machined or by specifying the machining boundary. SolidCAM HSM module provides a comprehensive set of boundary creation tools, including Silhouette boundaries, Cutter Contact Area boundaries, Shallow boundaries,Theoretical Rest Area boundaries, Rest Area boundaries and User-defined boundaries.

SolidCAM HSM module is a powerful solution for all users who demand advanced high speed machining capabilities. It can also be used to improve the productivity of older CNC’s with reduced air-cutting and smoothing arcs that maintain continuous machine tool motion.

SolidCAM HSM takes 3D machining to the next level. Developed for the high-end machining of molds, this toolpath takes the standard toolpath strategies of 3D and supercharges them. Due to the high cycle times of 3D molds, all toolpaths are made to be as efficient and smooth as possible. Linking of the toolpaths are a core-function in HSM, where every lead-in, toolpath extension, and retracts are user controllable. Utilizing this power any person machining 3D parts, not just mold makers, can benefit with shorter programming and fast cycle times.
