HSMWorks, HSM Express, Fusion 360, etc all use the same CAM kernel and roughly the same user interface. It's a harmony we call Autodesk CAM. |
I'll second Inventor HSM, we used it for a variety of parts this year on our new X-Carve CNC Router. Fairly easy to pick up if you're already familiar with inventor, and no issues with it so far (though it takes a little trial and error to get used to how some of the settings work).
