It's been much harder to walk away on the milling side, so I'm much more empathetic these days.īut jeez, lighten up guys.I'm all lightened up. When it no longer was capable of handling my needs, it was easy to walk away from, its not that powerful of a tool. To me, its never been something I NEEDED, just some extra tools that came in handy when I needed to program a turned part.
Hsmworks 2016 free#
I think he was one of a small handful of people who ACTUALLY paid for HSM turning module directly, and also directly contributed to its now free status.Īnyway, I think this really heavily influences how you view HSMworks turning. I think the vast majority of Autodesk CAM users fall into the opposite category, and turning was a free perk Autodesk decided to hand out. It's easy to forget that Lonnies work revolves heavily (almost exclusively, iirc) around turning, and that his HSMworks purchase was largely influenced by the then recent addition of turning coupled with promises and assumptions that it would be developed at a reasonable pace. I typed out a big long thing and deleted it. I had the same experience with HSMWorks Turning and in me doing the same somehow makes me a jerk. You take many opportunities to steer people away from the product and bash it when you can. I take you at your word that it is justifiable and that the product really does suck along with poor support. The only way in which it struck a cord is you obviously had a very bad experience with CAMWorks. The MS Access Tech data base got corrupted about every other day. My ± No, I doubt it was any better back then. At any rate, perhaps it was better in comparison back then. I swear you told me you'd previewed it but never used it. Sorry if that's the one that peed in your cereal. All I can do is argue to use the least shitty option that I can for the work in front of me. Big name CAM systems that have been around for two decades or more. I was also trying to be a bit lighthearted but apparently I struck a chord.Īnd you're right, I may have not paid for a system personally and watched it fail to meet my expectations, but I've also struggled through several in which official support also failed in their goals and be unapologetic. You should not make assumptions about what other have or have not used.I swear you told me you'd previewed it but never used it. I set up the technology database and made parts it was not great but it ran their machines. I went to Cadimensions in Rochester NY for training. They are still not there.Īs for CAMWorks, I used it for over a year as the only cam product the company I work had a the time. I was cleaning out emails tonight as the machines were running and came across the email from the first web meeting with Al on things missing from turning that were pretty basic. But then I realize how you have never paid for a cam system out of your own pocket and watch it come to a stand still. I personally enjoy camworks but it takes a fair amount of time and effort in the beginning to get your tech database where you want it.I don't care if you think it all the time to he honest. I gave fusion about 30 min of my time and it just felt clunky. The feature recognition will populate the toolpath as you have defined in your database so you don't have to manually create a bunch of toolpaths. Everything is based off of the tech database and the guidelines you give it.
Hsmworks 2016 driver#
HSMWorks well LOVE IT, but it is more of an experienced machinist CAM as there is no speed and feed, no feature recognition so you are more the driver than the software, but it is just a dream to program in.Seriously? Do you know Camworks? It doesn't "learn" anything.

The free version of SW CAM you cannot program in an assembly, full blown CAMWorks can and HSMWorks also HSMWorks well LOVE IT, but it is more of an experienced machinist CAM as there is no speed and feed, no feature recognition so you are more the driver than the software, but it is just a dream to program in. It also has a much better lathe than HSMWorks The big difference is that CAMWorks has a technology data base that give you speeds and feeds to the materials and cutters, learns how you program and uses feature recognition to help asses you part and put the most appropriate toolpath to it. What I'm getting at is, the benefits that CAMWorks advertises seem to be equal to those of HSM.the free version of SW CAM you cannot program in an assembly, full blown CAMWorks can and HSMWorks also CAMWorks had something like 7 options on their website, whereas HSM has 2 (not including 360). The only true difference I've noticed between them are the pricing tiers. They both have tabs right in Solidworks, I'm able to start programming directly from a SLDPRT file or assembly. I guess I don't see the difference between the integration of CAMWorks to that of HSM.
