By using a load-based strategy, you are able to rough out components and 80% of the flute depth into the part and at feed rates that are blisteringly fast in comparison to traditional pocket-roughing.Integrated seamlessly into both Inventor and SolidWorks, HSM allows users to create toolpaths for subtractive manufacturing right within the design environment for a seamless and familiar user experience. By using the latest technology and cutting tool information, HSM is able to clear out the stock material at an incredible pace.

In manufacturing, removing waste material can be up to 60% of a job and being able to decrease the amount of time spent roughing out a part is critical. With a learning curve far simpler than usual CAM packages, taking advantage of HSM inside of the Product Design and Manufacturing collection has never been easier.Adaptive ClearingEase of UseAnother large selling point to HSM is its adaptive clearing.

The software includes an extensive list of cutting strategies, large and customisable libraries of cutting tools, and is compatible with a wide variety of machines, ranging from 2.5D to 5-axis milling, turning and turn-mill.One of HSM’s greatest selling points to new and experienced CAM programmers is how familiar and intuitive the user interface is. Giving users a true end to end process with a single solution.Included within the Autodesk Product Design & Manufacturing Collection (PDMC), Autodesk HSM is a comprehensive CAM solution capable of producing toolpaths for subtractive manufacturing. Now with the release of the PDMC, Autodesk offers a solution that takes you from concept through to design, testing and manufacture without having to leave the Autodesk family of products. After nearly 2 years of development and testing, Autodesk released its first commercial release of Inventor HSM in April 2014.The Autodesk HSM StoryThis marked the start of Autodesk's push into the CAM world. October 2012, Autodesk announced that it had acquired certain assets from HSMWORKS -an integrated CAM solution that sat inside of SolidWorks.
