HSM Performance Pack has been discontinued and is only available for existing customers on Maintenance.

Specialized, high-performing machining software

HSM Performance Pack 2020 extends the functionality of your Mastercam system with specialized high-speed machining capabilities including powerful Tilt, Undercut and Drilling.

#1 Tilt, Undercut & Swarf

Combine Tilt and Undercut to machine hard-to-reach, undercut areas by tilting the tool or use the Swarf strategy for perfect finish in areas where the surface is suited for it.

#2 5-Axis Tilt

Tilt is available as an option for the finishing and roughing strategies in HSM Performance Pack. With Tilt enabled, HSM Performance Pack can automatically tilt the tool and holder to prevent it from colliding with the part.

#3 Holder Detection

Several options are available for automatically detecting and avoiding holder collisions including Ignore, Fail, Trim, Tilt, Pull Away, Avoid Stock and Detect length.

#4 Trim Shallow Passes

The shallow machining option ensures a smooth finish with the least amount of toolpath. Use the trimming options to machine shallow areas locally and save time on the steep areas.

#5 Advanced Hybrid

The Hybrid strategy combines the advantages of Contour3D with Scallop and Parallel enabling users to easily create cutting passes for both steep and shallow areas in a single operation.

#6 Transitions

Different types of transitions between cutting passes are available for finishing strategies. It allows the user to control whether the tool should stay at the surface or move away during the transition.
