Many of these same associations report that use of a formal CAD/CAM solution by those who do this type of work varies widely, as does the use of 3D solid modeling tools. Industry associations estimate that anywhere between 50% and 70% of the machining done on 3-Axis vertical machines is 2D and 2½-Axis machining 2D Milling and Drilling. The only functionality that we have disabled is Tool Orientation, the primary stock simulation (MachineWorks based), and the multiaxis backplotting in HSMWorks Edit. HSMXpress includes generic post processors and like HSMWorks, the post processors are editable by the user provided they can learn JavaScript.
That means it is 100% HSMWorks same 64-bit/multi-core HSMWorks CAM Kernel, 2D Milling and Drilling, HSMWorks Simulation, HSMWorks Post Processor, and HSMWorks Edit. An entirely new segment of SolidWorks users can now take advantage of the benefits of integrated CAD/CAM. HSMXpress will redefine the CAM business. HSMWorks has announced the release of HSMXpress: the world's first free CAM solution for SolidWorks. Both Part and Assembly mode are supported and everything is stored in the SLDPRT or SLDASM. It is all the same Kernel which means native 64-bit and true multi-processor, multi-core and hyper-threading support. HSMXpress does not include Multi-axis machining or verification.Įverything else is there and there are no limits: Face, Contour, Pocket (even High Speed 2D Adaptive Clearing) Slot, Thread, Bore, 3D Trace (3D Curve), all of the drill cycles, Patterns, Setup Sheets, common post processors, an open Post language, editor, G-code backplotter, and RS-232 communications. However, HSMWorks has it's own 64-bit Solids based verification (Right click, Show Stock in Simulate) which is very good and continues to be developed. The MachineWorks-based solid verification is disabled simply because it js licensed from another company so we cannot give it away. HSMXpress essentially is HSMWorks 2D now.
