After two months of beta testing by nearly 1,000 participants, Autodesk has released Autodesk Inventor HSM Express … f or Free! View the story of HSMWorks and the HSM Express announcement from EMO, in Hannover, Germany, here. Autodesk is continually adding to it’s portfolio of products, and making those tools available to it’s user base, at extremely affordable prices. The tools then could be set to use WATERFALL so that a ball cutter can stop at the radius instead of how 3D paths use the contact now.I received an exciting email yesterday, which contained a new and noteworthy announcement that Autodesk has just introduced the Next Generation Integrated CAM for Inventor. I am not trying to make excuses but rather simply attempting to be fully that is why it is a much better toolpath than the 3D that cuts from a stl wrap!!! As such, we are re-evaluating putting resources onto the work needed to support it.

At the same time, we have had a lot of continued interest in Flow. To be honest, this project is taking longer than we hoped. This toolpath is called blend and is currently beta mode in Fusion 360. As such, it needs to interact with the CAD model in a fundamentally different why then all of the other 3 axis toolpaths.Īt the same time, we have been working on a 'replacement' for flow that does not require the use of the ISO curves of the surface to create a toolpath.

Flow using the ISO curves of the of the surface to define the toolpath. The flow toolpath is unlike other toolpaths that work off of a triangulated models. You asked why I will answer you directly.
