Solved: Re: Looking for a CAM add-on or plugin

jesseTZECW · ‎07-02-2018

Hello,

I recently upgraded to Inventor Pro 2019 and am wondering if there are any good add-ons for generating CAM code (i'll mainly be using G-code) for the parts I'm drawing. Has anyone used downloadable software compatible with Inventor they've liked?

Autodesk HSM was built to integrate into Inventor. it is a subscription product with a 30 day trail. Take a look at the Website.

Here is the link to HSM Express which is "FREE" for 2.5 axis machining..

Fantastic software...

If you are a subscription customer and subscribe to the "product design and manufacturing collection" you get full blown HSM though included in that already..

If not and just want free 2.5d then HSM express is the way to go..
