AUTODESK® Fusion 360™

Autodesk HSM was specially developed for use with Autodesk® Inventor® / SolidWorks® / Fusion360™ and is a logical addition to the CAD software for the CAM area. Experienced CAD users feel right at home working with Autodesk HSM and can create toolpaths of the highest quality within minutes. New users benefit from the unrivalled 2D and 3D functionalities of the CAD solution and can quickly and easily expand their knowledge acquired through the CAM process. The result is improved design quality and shorter product development times.

Optimised toolpaths
Autodesk HSM's toolpath strategies are designed to generate the smoothest and most efficient toolpath possible to reduce machining time, improve surface quality and reduce tool wear.

Adaptive Clearing - HSC Roughing

Reduce machining time by up to 40% with Adaptive Clearing!

Uniform cutting volume, constant feed rate and uniform cross infeed

The HSC roughing strategy "Adaptive Clearing" is currently the trochoidal roughing method specifically for machining machinable materials. Compared to conventional pocket roughing strategies, HSC roughing remains consistently in synchronised or counter-rotation and does not carry out full cuts. Each cut - even in corner areas - is only made with the maximum specified cross infeed.

Due to the special arrangement and the internal rounding of the traverse movements, complete wrap-around of the tool is avoided and the specified feed rate on the machine is kept constant. As the transverse infeed is also constant, this results in a uniform cutting volume, which reduces tool vibration and therefore significantly increases tool life.

CAD/CAM redefined

Fusion 360™ is the CAM solution that combines CNC programming, simulation and design with real-time collaboration and online project and data management in a single, easy-to-use product. With Autodesk® Fusion 360™ modelling directly integrated, users can quickly complete routine tasks such as model preparation and adaptation. You'll be able to work with all common CAD formats, so you'll be productive right from the start.

Flexibility

Autodesk® Fusion 360™ breaks the boundaries of traditional CAD/CAM applications by providing access to professional CNC programming tools - regardless of the existing CAD data format. Whether 2D/3D data, Autodesk® Inventor® or Solidworks® software on Mac or PC, Fusion 360™ covers it all.

Real-time collaboration

Fusion 360™ is also very good for collaboration. It helps bring people and ideas together through a unified interface that the designer/programmer controls. Invite team members or partners and work together on important tasks as you would on social networks.

Quality

Fusion 360 uses the same proven HSM CAM kernel as HSMWorks and Inventor CAM, so you are able to generate toolpaths very quickly, reduce cycle times, minimise machine and tool wear, and produce parts of the highest quality.
