Those are the Level and Constant-Z in the Parallel cuts choice. The HSS menu has two toolpaths included in the base package. It operates on a solid model, and you will spend time setting up boundaries so it does what you want. I am hoping I can get by without either roughing module. So if you can do toolpaths that let the spindle turn fast, you can remove more material per minute, since you have more horsepower to do the work. Indeed, the spindle on my Avid Benchtop Pro will only go down to 8,000 RPM before it starts to overheat the spindle.Īlso, in a modern constant-torque spindle motor, cutting the speed in half cuts the horsepower in half as well. The other is 3D iMachining, which does adaptive toolpaths that reduce tool loads, increase tool life by cutting across the full flute, and takes advantage of modern high-speed spindles that can turn from 15k to 24k RPM. SolidCAM also has two 3D roughing modules, both for around $2k. If I can only afford one module, I think I would get HSS. The difference is that in HSS you select surfaces as the geometry, while in HSM you select the solid model and then use other geometry to limit the extent of the toolpaths. HSM (high-speed machining) is another ~$2k package that does similar toolpaths. The full HSS module is less than $2k, and gives radial and morphing toolpaths as well. That includes two HSS (high-speed surfacing) toolpaths, Constant-Z, and Level. SolidCAM's base package costs around $5,000. ![]() Rako Studios » Media » Suffering-with-software » SolidCAM HSS versus HSM SolidCAM HSS versus HSM SolidCAM has HSS (high-speed surfacing), as well as HSM (high-speed machining). ![]()
