AUTODESK HSMWORKS ULTIMATE

Autodesk HSMWorks Ultimate – Advanced Integrated CAM in SOLIDWORKS for Maximum Machining Efficiency

Autodesk HSMWorks Ultimate is a high-end CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) solution fully integrated into SOLIDWORKS, designed to take CNC machining automation to the highest levels. This powerful software allows direct programming within the CAD environment, significantly simplifying the workflow between design and production.

Thanks to its intuitive interface and complete integration, HSMWorks Ultimate is the ideal tool for engineers, CNC operators, and manufacturers who want total control over tool paths, reduce machining times, and achieve superior quality of the finished piece.

🛠 Main Features of HSMWorks Ultimate

• Native integration with SOLIDWORKS: all CAM operations are managed directly within the CAD environment. Every change to the 3D model is automatically synchronized with machining, reducing errors and downtime ⚙️.

• 2.5D, 3D and 5 Axis Machining: full support for multi-axis milling, with advanced roughing, finishing, and rework strategies. Ideal for complex and precision components.

• Combined Turning and Milling: includes specific tools for multitasking machines (mill-turn), offering complete flexibility for every type of CNC machine.

• Toolpath Simulation: detailed visual verification of machining strategies, to avoid collisions and optimize cycles before sending to the machine 🧠.

• Support for Measuring Probes: programming and simulation of measuring and alignment routines directly in the CAM.

• Customizable Tool Library: access to a comprehensive database to manage standard and custom tools, material, cutting parameters and machining strategies.

• Advanced Post-processors: wide range of configurable post-processors for CNC machines of every type, with the possibility of customization for specific needs.

📦 Exclusive Ultimate Features

The Ultimate version includes a series of advanced tools to further optimize production operations:

• Simultaneous 5-axis Machining: for complex geometries and aerospace or medical components

• High-Speed Toolpath Optimization: ensures smooth and safe machining on difficult materials like titanium or hardened steel
