Welcome to SolidCAM HSM!

SolidCAM HSM is a very powerful and market-proven high-speed machining (HSM) module for molds, tools and dies and complex 3D parts. The HSM module offers unique machining and linking strategies for generating high-speed tool paths.

SolidCAM HSM module smooths the paths of both cutting moves and retracts wherever possible to maintain a continuous machine tool motion – an essential requirement for maintaining higher feed rates and eliminating dwelling.

With SolidCAM HSM module, retracts to high Z-levels are kept to a minimum. Angled where possible, smoothed by arcs, retracts do not go any higher than necessary, thus minimizing air cutting and reducing machining time.

The result of HSM is an efficient, smooth, and gouge-free tool path. This translates to increased surface quality, less wear on your cutters, and a longer life for your machine tools.

With demands for ever shorter lead and production times, lower costs and improved quality, HSM is a must in today’s machine shops.
