AUTODESK HSMWORKS ULTIMATE

Autodesk HSMWorks Ultimate is a high-end CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) solution fully integrated into SOLIDWORKS, designed to take CNC machining automation to the highest levels. This powerful software allows direct programming within the CAD environment, greatly simplifying the workflow between design and production.

Thanks to its intuitive interface and complete integration, HSMWorks Ultimate is the ideal tool for engineers, CNC operators and manufacturers who want full control over tool paths, reduce machining times and achieve superior quality of the finished part.

Main Features of HSMWorks Ultimate

•Native integration with SOLIDWORKS: all CAM operations are managed directly within the CAD environment. Any changes to the 3D model are automatically synchronized with the machining, reducing errors and downtime.

•2.5D, 3D and 5 Axis machining: full support for multi-axis milling, with advanced roughing, finishing and reworking strategies. Ideal for complex and precision components.

•Combined turning and milling: includes specific tools for multitasking machines (mill-turn), offering complete flexibility for every type of CNC machine.

•Tool path simulation: detailed visual verification of machining strategies, to avoid collisions and optimize cycles before sending to the machine.

•Support for measuring probes: programming and simulation of measuring and alignment routines directly in the CAM.

•Customizable tool library: access to a complete database to manage standard and custom tools, material, cutting parameters and machining strategies.

•Advanced post-processors: wide range of configurable post-processors for CNC machines of all types, with the possibility of customization for specific needs.

Exclusive Ultimate Features

The Ultimate version includes a series of advanced tools to further optimize production operations:

•5-axis simultaneous machining: for complex geometries and aerospace or medical components

•High-speed tool path optimization: ensures smooth and safe machining on difficult materials such as titanium or hardened steel

•Advanced Adaptive Clearing: proprietary technology for ultra-efficient roughing, saving time and reducing tool wear

•Support for Renishaw probes: advanced management of quality control strategies and automatic correction in machine

Compatibility and System Requirements
