HSMWORKS 2017 HOW TO
HSMWORKS 2017 UPDATE

Fixed some issues with Preserve Order for the Pocket strategy. Fixed an issue in which a protected toolpath was not re-calculating after a tool change. Fixed an issue for certain profiling toolpaths where the tool was not cutting as much material as it should Fixed an issue in which a linking move between Contour toolpath cutting moves could gouge through the model. Fixed a crash that could occur in a Parallel operation if a rest tool generated no machining boundary. Fixed an Internal CAM Kernel error that the 3D Horizontal strategy was returning when predrill points were selected. Fixed an issue in which Order Optimization was not working in 2D Pocket strategies. Engrave toolpaths can now be generated over multiple levels in cases where, due to tool geometry, the initial engrave toolpath had to be offset HSMWorks Premium/Ultimate: msiexec.exe /promptrestart /qb /uninstall SETUP=1

When this is the case, this update can be uninstalled using one of the following commands in the Windows Command Prompt. In some circumstances, an incorrect update version appears on the Windows 'Installed Updates' page and this update cannot be uninstalled there. Fixed an issue with a turning chamfer toolpath in which a right-facing insert was placed at an offset from the model. Fixed an issue in 2D/3D pocket in which a warning 'Cannot plunge outside stock' could be displayed even if this action was not requested. Fix an issue in 3D Pocket that caused linking moves to gouge when linking between 2 pockets. Fixed an issue where in 2D contour with a circular input contour failed to result in a toolpath due to linking constraints. Fixed an issue in a Machine Configuration in which the setting of Rotary Axes was not maintained when the configuration was edited. Fixed an issue that could result in endless prompts to rebuild the model after a change was made in a component. Fixed an issue which resulted in a number of tooltips not getting translated. STL file format but the website says that it is an invalid file type so here is a screenshot instead.-Fixed an issue in which tools disappeared from the tool library after renumbering and then renaming them.

HSMWORKS 2017 HOW TO

If anyone knows how to setup up the CAM for this part or knows of some useful tutorials, please let me know. I could use that for smaller features such as the cam-like protrusions near the back, but as for everything else, it seem best to use 5-axis, or at the very least, 4-axis. Of course it can be done solely by using parallel or adaptive clearing, but this would take many hours of machining, is inefficient, and leaves a relatively rough surface. It does not seem that hard when I imagine it since most of the part can be machined by keeping the tool a a constant angle of about 2.66В° as the space between the threads is machined away. I know that it is possible since I have seen it done by people such as this guy ( HSMworks 5 axis pocket - YouTube).

I have found virtually not resources online that are able to explain 5-axis machining on a turned part using either HSMWorks or Fusion 360. I have been trying to CAM this part for a while now but can't seem to figure out the 5-axis part of it.
