HSMWorks 2016 R3.41038 for SolidWorks 2010-2016 Full associativity with SOLIDWORKS model HSMWorks allows you to maintain full associativity between the SolidWorks model and machining. Design changes in the CAD model get automatically updated in downstream data such as drawings and toolpaths. Modern architecture Take advantage of latest workstation technologies to achieve superior performance, especially when working on large or complex designs. Multiprocessor/multicore support speeds up toolpath generation on supported hardware. The distributed CAM server maximizes your computing power using idle PCs on the local network to reduce toolpath calculation time. Adaptive clearing This advanced roughing strategy provides efficient, high-volume material removal using constant tool engagement and optimized cutter paths. HSMWORKS_2016-features-HSMWorks-Edit_th HSMWorks Edit Take advantage of several CNC code-specific functions, including line numbering/renumbering, XYZ range finder, and file compare. Features a DNC link for reliable RS-232 communications with a variety of CNC controls. Simulation and Verification Visualize material removal using interactive animation with HSMWorks advanced simulation and verification tools. Ensure accuracy of results even before cutting metal, boosting productivity and cutting down material waste. Stock and toolpath simulation See stock being removed and automatically check for shaft and clamp/fixture collisions. Easily inspect generated toolpaths with the integrated backplot and inspection tool. HSMWORKS_2016-features-stock-and-toolpath-simulation_th HSMWORKS_2016-features-milling-machine-simulation_th Milling machine simulation Machine simulation detects collisions and near misses between all machine tool components such as axis slides, rotary tables, turrets, spindles, tool changers, and fixtures. HSMWorks uses a SOLIDWORKS model of your machine tool to detect potential collisions, making it easy to modify or build new machine configurations directly inside SOLIDWORKS.
