The output is ready-to-run programs for the 4/5-axis CNC-machine. All 2.5D and 3D machining operations on any face can be defined and checked using SolidCAM’s tool path verification. SolidCAM enables flexible set-ups and reduces the need for special clamping jigs. SolidCAM rotates the design model to the user-defined machining planes and automatically calculates all necessary shifts and tilts for the 3D machining coordinate systems. With SolidCAM, programming and machining of multi-sided parts on 4- and 5-Axis machining centers is easy and efficient. This translates to increased surface quality, less wear on cutters, and a longer life for your machine tools. The result of the HSM module is an efficient smooth, and optimal toolpath. Angled where possible, smoothed by arcs, retracts do not go any higher than necessary – thus minimizing aircutting and reducing machining time. With SolidCAM HSM module retracts to high Z levels are kept to a minimum.

SolidCAM’s HSM module smooths the paths of both cuning moves and retracts wherever possible to maintain a continuous machine tool motion – an essential requirement for maintaining higher feedrates and eliminating dwelling. The HSM module offers unique machining and linking strategies for generaling advanced 3D Mill and highspeed toolpaths. SolidCAM HSM module is an advanced 3D Mill and highspeed-machining module for 3D parts, aerospace parts and molds, tools and dies. For 3D models, SolidCAM provides multiple strategies for 3D machining, including integrated rest material options. For prismatic parts SolidCAM analyzes the model and automatically recognizes pockets and profiles to be machined using Z-constant machining strategies.

SolidCAM’s 3D Milling can be used both for prismatic parts and for 3D models.
