Eventually, Pearson became frustrated with his standalone CAM
application. When he saw the product release for HSMWorks, he followed up on it.
The reseller gave him a 30-day trial license.

It wasn’t quite love at first sight.

“My initial impression,” says Pearson, “was that [HSMWorks] wasn’t very
powerful, because there weren’t as many icons and buttons and widgets. I
thought, what can I do with this? Where’s all the stuff? But when you start
working on a part, you realize that it’s very intuitive. If you know SolidWorks,
you know HSMWorks.”

Pearson was particularly pleased with the post processor because he no longer
has to modify his posts. He also likes how fast the program is at calculating
paths: "I called the reseller three days later and said, 'Sign me up.'"
