I played with it nearly 20 years ago and it was pretty sweet

That was before Mastercam had any dynamic toolpaths and it was revolutionary for its time

They still offer it and support it, but I don't know anyone who uses it.

It looks like they have added a lot new functionality and dropped some to the older toolpaths

They may have sold off the rights to some of the older toolpaths when they sold HSMWorks to Autodesk.

I got a trail license and tried it out back in the day and it was very impressive.

I didn't buy it because none of my customers owned it and would not be able to work on any files I developed using it.

Back then the price was quite reasonable. I have no idea what it would be today

Years ago, a version or two before Mastercam came out with Dynamic we had it where I was working at the time. The HSM toolpaths were awesome. We also saw that the regular 3D toolpaths calculated faster and gave us better finish than Mastercams 3d Toolpaths. A few Mastercam versions later the difference was minimal.

yes... for a while I was hoping CNC Software would buy the rights to the HSM Pak and add it to Mastercam  but it never happened
