HSMWORKS FORUM UPDATE
The following changes were made in an earlier update (2022.2): Fixed an issue in which HSM Edit's Transforms Group was disabled.Fixed an issue in which machining angles could be calculated incorrectly in some cases.Improved the section bounding box as calculated by the getRange functions so that it now includes milling and boring cycle movements.Improved the property handling functions (getProperty, setProperty) in the post-processor.Improved linking in the pocket strategy with enabled rest machining to avoid air cutting ramps.Fixed a stock collision that could occur in 3D adaptive clearing when 'Order by Area' was selected.Fixed several cases where a ramp cutting into the part was generated.Fixed a toolpath calculation failure that could occur in a slot strategy which produced an "Invalid Contours" error.Fixed crashes that could occur in some cases when using the jet, spiral, or trace strategies.Improved the 2D pocket and contour strategies to avoid having tiny arcs in cutting passes.Installation WHAT’S NEW The following changes have been made in the current update (2022.3): HSMWorks Ultimate (including Fusion entitlement).SOLIDWORKS is a registered trademark of Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks Corporation.This document covers the following HSMWorks products: More information about HSMWorks and HSMXpress is available at. HSMWorks’ 3+2 and 5 Axis brings CAD and CAM together for a truly integrated design to manufacturing solution inside SOLIDWORKS. HSMWorks supports machine simulation for all 2.5D, advanced 3D and 5 Axis milling applications. The integrated workflow in HSMWorks lets you create tool paths right from the SOLIDWORKS design environment. Post Processing Additions, including a CAMPlete interface, generic Haas UMC 750, generic Haas Mill/Turn, factory tested Datron and generic Siemens turning.Toolpath Generation Improvements such as morphed spiral, rest machining for turning, stay-down linking and even step downs in adaptive clearing, engrave strategy, semi-automatic chamfering and automatic holder detection for adaptive clearing.User Experience Improvements, including silhouette sketch, advanced notes visualization, improved defaults management, Albrecht and Maritool holder libraries and advanced WCS definition in-job setup.In addition to supporting users of SolidWorks 2016, key highlights of this release include: “This latest release gives SolidWorks users access to a truly integrated CAM solution.” “We are committed to providing ongoing support for all of our HSM CAM products, regardless of our customers’ chosen design software,” said Al Whatmough, product manager for Autodesk HSM CAM products.
