HSM next generation
integrated CAM for
Inventor and
Solidworks
users
W
hen it comes to integrated
CAM, Man and Machine
alongside Autodesk is
committed to delivering
solutions to the broadest range of
users, from designers and engineers to
veteran CNC programmers, regardless
of their CAD tool of choice.
For designers and engineers that are
prototyping or producing finished
parts, Man and Machine offers the next
generation integrated CAM solutions
that put you in control of the design
to manufacturing workflow. It also
provides unbeatable performance and
quality for CNC programmers. Define
machining geometry and parameters
by selecting entities directly from
the 3D digital prototype enables
Autodesk CAM solutions to maintain
full associativity between the 3D
model and machining operations. Any
changes to the model are automatically
reflected in the toolpath. Late design
changes no longer mean missing
delivery deadlines or introducing lastminute programming errors.
Turn your Inventor designs into highprecision machine-ready toolpaths
that can be programmed, simulated
and verified, all within your Inventor
software. Built on the same powerful
CAM kernel as HSMWorks, Inventor
HSM solutions help you generate the
most efficient toolpaths that produce
high quality finished parts while
minimizing cycle time and maximizing
machine life.
HSMWorks is designed from the ground
up to work inside SolidWorks, providing
100
PECM Issue 18
a logical extension of the parametric
SolidWorks assembly environment into
the CAM world. Users will benefit from
the comprehensive 2D and 3D CAD
capabilities of SolidWorks mechanical
design solutions and quickly extend
any knowledge gained to the CAM
process, resulting in improved
design quality and reduced product
development time.
These CAM solutions
reinforce our
commitment to
the Manufacturing
industry by delivering
professional grade
solutions that appeal
to the broadest range
of users.
These CAM solutions reinforce our
commitment to the Manufacturing
industry by delivering professional
grade solutions that appeal to the
broadest range of users. More
specifically, this allows users to
take full advantage of the latest
CNC machining technology to
complement 3D Printing for a complete
Digital Prototyping and design to
manufacturing solution.
Alongside the software for Inventor
or Solidworks, Man and Machine offer
a range of services including on –site
training with one of our application
engineers, consultancy and telephone
support for any queries or problems.
Our highly skilled technical consultants
are on hand with every stage of the
implementation process. As the only
reseller in the UK to sell Autodesk
CAM, Man and Machine has the skills
and knowledge to help find the right
solution for you.
“HSM places an emphasis on being
easy to learn and easy to use, without
sacrificing power and functionality.
Modern programming techniques
ensure you can continue to work
whilst fast 64 bit multi-core toolpath
generation takes place. All this is
within a familiar CAD environment and
complete compatibility with any data
management solutions in use.”
