Hypermill 2020.2 OPEN MIND

Hypermill 2020.2 highlights include new strategies for the machining of cutting edges, upgrades for mill/turning, parametric design in HyperCAD-S and the ‘Hypermill Automation Center Advanced’.
hyperMILL What’s new in 2020.2?

Toolpath Mirroring

With the ‘Mirror’ function in previous versions, the toolpaths for symmetrical components were always generated and recalculated on the basis of mirrored geometry data. The new ‘Mirror Path’ function enables simple mirroring on the basis of the previously calculated toolpaths. With this method, the machining direction is mirrored as well, and climb milling becomes conventional milling. You can enable this option in the ‘Mirror Path’ settings, and it is available for all 2D, 3D, 5-axis and additive strategies.

Tool Database

In the tool database, the filter properties are now integrated directly into the top level of the user interface, meaning they are always visible. Another improvement is that directly within the filter properties, you can now also enable the material from the job list, the spindle holder from the machine properties, and the tool preselection from the job. In addition, you can perform searches for customer-specific information.

Feature Filter

Within the feature management, you can now perform text searches for specific feature properties. For example, this enables you to quickly locate specific feature types such as holes or pockets, as well as hole diameters.

3D Cutting Edge and 5-axis Cutting Edge Plunge Milling

For the machining of cutting edges in particular, the plunge milling strategies offered by 3D and 5-axis machining represent an efficient way of removing material quickly and reliably. For this, the cutting edge is defined either via a curve or a face. You can restrict machining in the axial direction by defining a secondary curve or a distance.

With 3D machining, the material can be removed by swarf cutting or plunging. Rest material machining is easily calculated using a reference job.

With 5-axis machining, you can also include undercut areas in the plunge job, such as for cutting edge. The tool tilt is specified by the lateral inclination. In order to optimally adapt a retract movement to the component, you can specify both a distance as well as a circular or linear movement profile.
