It is very powerful but is indeed missing small controls that do make it difficult in certain situations. HSMworks is by far the easiest of the CAM plug ins I have used. I am not sure how it works with HSMWorks customers. I have a permanent seat so I avoided this but new customers can't. Very big drawback that began as of Feb 1st is you can no longer purchase permanent seats of Inventor HSM which was one of the true bargains out there and I would not unless I absolutely had to ever go subscription only. Something which applies to all programs is buy what is there right now and never buy on the promise of good things to come. After some time they have indicated recently they are finally serious about fixing lathe but we shall see. I can't for example use a grooving tool for profiling which since so many grooving tools are made to do both just boggles my mind.
HSM will save you time and money for 3D and under milling but lathe and mill turn are inadequate. Lathe is not good at all and they have been promising to fix it for some time now. On posts if you don't like the provided ones you can easily get one modified for you and this does not cost you extra dollars.Ĭurious to know what controls you are missing? Oh, you can undo all day long with HSM which ought to bring a grin to any Surfcam veterans face.
I can't speak from personal experience on multi axis though I understand from comments that it has some shortcomings. Volumill is the program that evolved from Surfcam's Truemill. I have had a seat of CAMWorks for SE and HSM at the same time (ST8 CW4SE and Inventor HSM 2016) and was able to directly compare Volumill to Adaptive in HSM and Adaptive won every time. I think HSM is the best thing out there for 3axis.
