The new 2021.1 version of the hyperMILL® CAD/CAM suite offers a wide range of new functions for even higher surface qualities primarily in tool and mold making. In mill turning, OPEN MIND now offers an option for simultaneous turning and HPC machining. In addition, a new function available in hyperCAD®-S allows you to easily align stock and model data, which is particularly useful before reworking additively manufactured stocks.
The 5-axis Radial Machining function makes programming easier while delivering top surface quality. This new strategy allows toolpaths for bottle shapes, for example, to be calculated much more quickly using a radial projection method. An indexed tilt per cut allows each step to achieve the best possible surface quality. In addition, the standard integrated “High-precision surface mode” (for ultra-precise surfaces in the µm range) and “Smooth overlap” strategies are available in transition areas.
The new XY Optimization in 3D Profile Finishing function, which improves machining with X or Y axis infeed strategies, hones the “Smooth overlap” strategy to perfection. If an area cannot be optimally machined in the X-orientation on a steep wall, for example, it is automatically machined in the Y-orientation in order to maintain a constant infeed. The optimized blending in the overlap area makes changes to the machining direction invisible on the workpiece.
hyperMILL® 2021.1 from OPEN MIND provides a new, extremely convenient and intuitive option for subsequently editing toolpaths. The “Edit toolpath” Interactive mode gives you great flexibility, for example, to select and remove existing toolpaths at selected points and curves or entire toolpath sequences between two G0 movements.
