CAM INTEGRATIONS
Harvey Performance Company has partnered with Autodesk to provide a comprehensive Harvey Tool, Helical Solutions, and Valor Holemaking Add-in for Fusion 360 users. Every tool from the two brands’ expansive product offering – more than 31,000 tools in total – is available for use with your Fusion 360 software.
The new Add-in allows you to quickly add individual Harvey Tool, Helical Solutions, and Valor Holemaking products to your Fusion 360 tool library by using a specific tool number or browsing the Harvey Tool and Valor Holemaking websites.
Autodesk’s Fusion 360 is the first 3D CAD, CAM, and CAE tool of its kind. It connects your entire product development process in a single cloud-based platform that works on both Mac and PC, allowing users to design, test and fabricate all in a single tool.
Easily access dimensional data for all of your Harvey tools.
Increase machining success by programming with accurate tool data direct from the manufacturer.
No more wasted time calculating different tool dimensions during setup. We did the math for you.
Once you have installed the Add-in, you have two options for how to add a tool to your tool library.
