Hypermill 2024 OPEN MIND

OPEN MIND has always offered an innovative CAD/CAM solution whose CAD functionalities are seamlessly linked to CAM programming. This leads to enormous time savings in work­piece preparation.

This alone makes it clear that CAM without CAD is no longer an option today. From version 2024, hyperMILL® now combines CAD and CAM under one name (instead of hyperCAD®-S), thus consolidating “CAD for CAM” for the future. The familiar CAD functionalities remain the same, only their names change.

CAD

Import model-based definition

hyperMILL® supports the import of PMI and MBD data in various formats such as STEP, CATIA V5, SOLIDWORKS, Creo, and Siemens NX. A model-based definition (MBD) is assigned to faces, and PMI symbols are assigned to dimensions, tolerances, and surface finishes. This data can be evaluated with the help of the AUTOMATION Center for faster processing.

Create faces from grids

hyperMILL® now offers the option of generating both open and closed faces from a variety of grid curves. Even non-intersecting curves are taken into account within a tolerance, allowing faces to be generated effortlessly, even in the most complex areas.

Creation of three-dimensional electrode paths

Two-dimensional machining is no longer sufficient for some erosion processes. With hyperMILL® Electrode, you can now generate machining paths along a 3D curve with simultaneous C-axis rotation. Retract movements are automatically created in the opposite direction to ensure an efficient machining process.

Electrode generation for open surfaces

Deviations in faces and tolerance values often make it very time-consuming to create electrodes. hyperMILL® Electrode simplifies this process by allowing electrodes to be created even with open or overlapping faces.

Optimized Deep Hole Drilling

We have revised the deep hole drilling process and developed a new strategy. A user-friendly interface makes programming easier, with all process-relevant parameters now clearly displayed on the new process tab. The new strategy offers all the functions required for safe and reliable deep hole drilling. Coolant and dwell time can now be defined for each stage or phase of the deep hole drilling process. New functions also make it possible to integrate a chip break into the drilling process.

Thanks to the various parameters, the drilling process can be perfectly adapted to your machining. This increases process reliability. Optionally, programming can be carried out independently of the stock, which is a particular advantage when there is extensive model data. In parallel with the new strategy, we have introduced a new type of tool, namely, the single-lip gun drill. The simulation includes a precise collision check and detailed visualization of the stock removal.
