Enhanced multi-core support and improved linking make Adaptive Clearing 2.0 the most advanced adaptive roughing technology to date.
Adaptive Clearing 2.0 – Adaptive Clearing has set the bar for efficient, high volume material removal using a strategy of constant tool engagement to reduce cycle times, tool and machine wear, and produce quality finished parts. HSMWorks API – The new API provides users with the ability to automate many programming tasks such as toolpath generation and post processing. HSMWORKS INVENTOR SOFTWARE
Utilization of native SolidWorks assemblies means users are able to model their machines right inside SolidWorks software without having to import STLs or dumb solids.
Machine Simulation – Support has been added for a wider range of machine types including 5-axis machining centers. “HSMWorks 2014 offers better control over existing toolpaths to produce high quality surface finishes and optimize use of standard cutting tools, and powerful enhancements to simulation and toolpath calculation capabilities that allow users greater visibility into the machining process and the ability to leverage more computing power across their organization. The press release went on to include the following: “Autodesk’s goal is to create the world’s best CAM tools and continue to provide users with the power and quality they have come to expect… We are committed to offering customers both the ease-of-use and productivity advantages of professionally integrated CAM no matter what CAD software they use.”
A press release yesterday quoted Buzz Kross (Autodesk’s senior vice president of design, lifecycle and simulation) as saying: Autodesk announced yesterday that HSMWorks 2014 is available for Solidworks users in English, Japanese, and German languages.
