Multi-Axis Milling
HSMWorks seamlessly integrates multi-axis simultaneous machining into its milling and mill/turn environment using the same intuitive approach to toolpath programming found in our 2D/3D machining strategies. Multi-axis machining has traditionally been regarded as an advanced technology best suited to the aerospace and automotive industry. HSMWorks improves production machining by breaking down this barrier and making multi-axis machining accessible to everybody.
Multi-axis Simultaneous Machining
HSMWorks offers a number of multi-axis strategies that provide the programmer with a productive solution for easily creating highly efficient multi-axis toolpaths with advanced collision control for the most complex 3D models.
3D Toolpath Tilting
Many parts contain deep cavity areas and small radii that need to be machined with small diameter tools. With HSMWorks these areas can be machined effectively by automatically tilting the tool and holder away from the workpiece, allowing the use of shorter tools to reduce vibration and deflection.
