OPEN MIND Technologies Partners with HERMLE and FRAISA to Create Santas
December 31, 2024OPEN MIND Technologies, a global developer of hyperMILL—a CAD/CAM software solution—has announced that together with HERMLE USA and FRAISA USA, the companies have teamed up to produce little Santas.
The little Santas were machined in just under four hours on a HERMLE C 400 Performance Line 5-Axis CNC Machine with a HS flex hybrid automation cell and tools from FRAISA programmed with hyperMILL CAD/CAM software.
Using the hyperMILL VIRTUAL Machining technology, which provides postprocessing and G-code simulation, toolpaths were generated and proven-out securely and efficiently. A 3D Optimized Roughing strategy was also employed to prepare the statue for finishing. The Smooth Overlap technique in hyperMILL was used to blend adjacent toolpaths, resulting in an imperceptible blend zone that mitigates the need for manual or other subsequent finishing processes.
Each “aluminum” Santa figure stands at a height of 5.8 inches (146 mm), with a base diameter of 2.7 inches (70 mm), and weighs 0.86 lb.(389 g).
