hyperMILL VIRTUAL Machining Optimizer enables individual part programs to be linked with smooth, safe connections.
hyperMILL ADDITIVE Manufacturing enables 5-axis simultaneous materials application with active collision avoidance for hard to reach areas.
OPEN MIND Technologies AG offers its latest hyperMILL CAD/CAM software suite.
"The latest versions of hyperMILL encompass a wide range of user-friendly enhancements and important new machining strategies, further advancing the capabilities for accurate, efficient 3D and 5-axis machining," said a company spokesperson. "Developed with Industry 4.0 in mind, hyperMILL VIRTUAL Machining features a VIRTUAL Machining Optimizer that provides innovative solutions over and above simulation and identifying error conditions. These capabilities improve toolpaths that are traditionally calculated in the CAM engine, and incorporate knowledge of the part model, tooling, the toolpath calculation and collision check engine, and the machine tool model with its physical constraints. The hyperMILL VIRTUAL Machining Optimizer enables individual part programs to be linked with smooth and safe connections, enabling the cutter to remain close to the workpiece."
A new hyperMILL Automation Center allows users to automate the job list creation processes in hyperCAD-S, serving as both a development and runtime environment. New features also include the ability to select and position the clamping device, as well as define a uniform process for all programmers.
The ADDITIVE Manufacturing process in hyperMILL CAM software supports 3D printing and subtractive machining on one machine tool. hyperMILL ADDITIVE Manufacturing technology offers flexible strategies for additive material applications, including filling strategies for both planes and free-form shapes, and in 2D and 3D sections. Applications also include hybrid machining to fix damaged parts and additive machining of an existing component.
"hyperMILL CAM software enables revolutionary 5-axis strategies for fast, easy-to-use programming, resulting in reduced cycle times and high-quality surface finishes," said the spokesperson. "The integrated hyperMILL MAXX Machining finishing module, a performance package of the hyperMILL CAM software suite, is a CAM programming source enabling the use of conical barrel cutter technology to reduce machining cycle times by over 90%. It is ideal for planar, ruled and curved surfaces often found in complex 5-Axis components. hyperMILL MAXX Machining offers three powerful modules: finishing, roughing and drilling."
