HSMWorks 2015 also supports the latest Intel Xeon Processors and high-end workstations, like the HP Z840 Workstation, configurable up to 36 total processor cores in one system.
HSMXpress includes all the same 2D Milling and Drilling capabilities as HSMWorks, along with solid part simulation and post processing system. HSMXpress 2015, a free version of HSMWorks offering professional CAM capabilities exclusively for 2-½ Axis milling machining projects, has also been released as part of this update. Stock simulation has been updated with improved performance in 3D mode, important for customers in the mold/die industry and those who frequently work with large models with 3D and sculpted surfaces. The updated Adaptive Roughing feature also now includes taper support for helical ramps, enhanced stay-down linking and optimized z-level transitioning, which directly contributes to reduced cycle times and more efficient operation on the machine. It reduces valuable cycle time from machining jobs by taking advantage of highly efficient toolpath motion that maintains constant cutter engagement during material removal.
HSMWorks 2015, with support for SolidWorks 2015, includes many new enhancements, including a significant update to Adaptive Clearing, the product's high-efficiency roughing technology.
This release takes the software even further with innovative new updates and features." "The feedback from users tells us HSMWorks is valued for its integration, ease-of-use and performance. "This new release is a great example of our ongoing commitment to our customers, regardless of which CAD system they use," said Robert "Buzz" Kross, senior vice president at Autodesk. These enhancements allow users to turn their models and assemblies into machined parts, all within a fully integrated design to manufacturing workflow. In that time, the company has also released twelve updates with hundreds of new features and enhancements.
The availability of HSMWorks 2015 marks the third major release of the HSMWorks product line since Autodesk acquired HSMWorks in October 2012.
Autodesk announced the release of HSMWorks 2015, a fully integrated CAM solution for users of SolidWorks software.
