11/1/2023 0 Comments Hsmworks solidworksAutodesk doesn’t want either group of users to feel short-changed. In other words, both products will be on parity. Another important point was that there will be zero functionality added to the Inventor version, when that eventually becomes available for Inventor users, that will not exist in HSMWorks for SolidWorks. Everything added to the SolidWorks version will, at some point, be made available to the rest of the products (give or take). HSMWorks is a stable product with a very strong base of users. Perhaps one of the most interesting points made was the importance of HSMWorks and the HSMWorks user community to the development of all Autodesk CAM products. This is great news and just reinforces what we had been told previously. The HSM guys are the core guys on the SolidWorks integration, and will continue to be. Almost all development resources go into the CAM Kernel because it is the underlying technology that is accessed from all of the user experiences present and future. In discussions with various managers I learned that CAM is supported by an entire team of people who fall into one of three categories: CAM Kernel (HSM), SolidWorks Integration, and Autodesk Integrations. This reinforces recent public statements and reflects a real change for an industry whose users have been asking for this type of approach for a long time. Jeff Kowalski went on to explain the full meaning of this statement and how it represents a fundamental shift in thinking at Autodesk from being focused on making proprietary tools to a provider of more open and innovative tools that anyone can use regardless of which CAD platform they use.
