HSM Performance Pack features
- Improved toolpath generation algorithms
The toolpath generation algorithms have been completely reimplemented
to offer very fast toolpath calculation.
- Support for multi-CPU and multi-core systems
Support for multi-CPU and multi-core systems when calculating a single
operation. This means that the calculation time is significantly
reduced when run on multi-core and multi-CPU systems. Multi-core PCs
are now mainstream so all users with up to date hardware will benefit
from this.
- Support for Windows x64
When run under Windows x64 HSM Performance Pack can utilize all
installed memory (exceeding 2Gb) in the PC for individual toolpath
operations. This means that even larger jobs can be run without the
need for splitting them in multiple operations.
- Improved toolpath quality
The toolpath quality has been improved to allow higher feedrates and
better part surface quality.
- Includes the Adaptive Clearing strategy
Roughing strategy for constant cutting conditions to reduce machining
time and increase tool life significantly.
- Support for tight tolerances
Support for very tight tolerances to avoid facets on machined parts
with very small curvatures. Tolerances below 1um are supported.
- Improved rest machining from previous tool
Rest machining from previous tool has been improved to avoid
unnecessary machining.
- Improved rest machining from previous operations
Rest material from previous operations is now calculated significantly
faster.
- Improved linking toolpath
New linking styles have been added and linking motion is now even more
smooth.
- Improved handling of vertical walls
Verticals walls are handled much better to avoid toolpath spikes at
walls.
- Improved feedback during toolpath calculation
Steady update of progress and current toolpath generation task.
Furthermore, instant abort is supported.
- Support for check surfaces
The check surface feature can be used to avoid machining of selected
surfaces.
- New arc fitting filter
New arc fitting filter reduces calculation significantly and allows
even tighter tighter tolerances to be used.
- New holder features
Automatic tool length and holder collision detection for the selected
holder is now supported.
- New backplot
New fast backplot for verification of large programs. Includes support
for backplotting toolpath as it is generated.
- New verify
Very fast solid verification with nice colorization features.
- New swarf strategy
A new swarf strategy has been added.
- Reduced machining time
Linking has been updated significantly for reduced machining time.
