HSMAdvisor v3.1.0 is a BIG UPDATE!
August 30, 2026, 4:21 am by Eldar Gerfanov (Admin)No, really! This release brings a couple of massive new features and updates.
First, let me introduce the new Material Selection dialog.
It finally comes with built-in international standards cross-referencing, customizable columns, BHN/RC display, and - at long last - FAVORITES!
Second is the new Solid Lens End Mill tool type.
This tool type differs from a ballnose of equal diameter because it features a much larger corner radius. This allows you to achieve superior surface finishes and higher feed rates on shallow surfacing operations.
Finally, we added the Corner Rounding Mill tool type.
This one is special because I created a new Recommended Passes table for cases where taking multiple roughing depths of cut is suggested.
Other smaller updates and bugs fixes
- Improvements to Slotting/Profiling DOC/WOC suggestions
- Added mouse wheel control for all sliders
- HSMWorks Library import fixed for several tool types
- New materials such as Beryllium, new Stainless Steels groups, etc.

As usual, thanks to everyone for your continuous suggestions and feedback!
P.S. I will be releasing the Mastercam plugins shortly, so stay tuned!
