All right, once HSMXpress has been downloaded, go ahead and click on it, and that should open up something like this. Go ahead and head over here and let's download the software now. That's a little bit more advanced, so in this case, HSMXpress or HSM will work just fine, so either way, we'll be great. We're really not going to be jumping into any kind of 3D programming. But in this course, we're going to be focusing on the key tools for machining. You just get more tools with the full HSMWorks package. Now, in this course, we're going to be focusing on the HSMXpress package, and HSMXpress and HSM are pretty much exactly the same. Down here, you also get the full HSM package right here, which is the plugin for SOLIDWORKS, which has everything in it, as well as great software packages like 3D Studio Max and so much more, so it's a really great way to get a whole bunch of great software. If you want to look into this a little bit further, you can click over here on the detail as far as what's included in the software, and you can see that you get HSM for Inventor, you get NASTRAN, you get all the AutoCAD packages, you get Fusion 360. If you happen to be a student or an educator, you can get all the software for free for three years, so it's a pretty great deal. Now, if you're not looking at HSMXpress and you're looking more for the HSMWorks package or the package for Inventor, you can head over to the Audodesk website and you can see over here, HSM is now part of this collection of tools from Autodesk, and you can subscribe to the full collection, or you can download the free trial. To get started, just go ahead and fill out your name and so on down here, and download the software. Now, if you don't already know, HSMXpress is a free 2.5D cam package for SOLIDWORKS, and it works as a plugin to SOLIDWORKS, so you're going to be working in your native environment of SOLIDWORKS, and you're going to have all the available cam tools from HSM Xpress. In this video, we're going to be downloading the HSMXpress software.
