hyperMILL 2025, developed by OPEN MIND Technologies, is a high-performance CAD/CAM software suite designed for advanced manufacturing in industries like automotive, aerospace, and precision engineering. It offers a range of enhanced features and innovative technologies to optimize programming and machining processes for 2.5D, 3D, 5-axis, and mill/turn tasks. Below is an overview of its key features, improvements, and benefits based on available information:
Key Features and Enhancements in hyperMILL 2025
Advanced 5-Axis Machining:
Automatic Tool Orientation Mode: A new algorithm pre-analyzes tool paths to calculate optimal machining sequences, combining simultaneous and indexed tool movements. This reduces programming time and enhances efficiency for complex components.
5-Axis Hole Deburring Strategy: Simplifies deburring of sharp edges on holes and intersecting holes. The CAM Plan feature automatically recognizes holes and marks edges, calculating tool paths for both 3-axis (included in the hyperMILL 3D package) and 5-axis modes (requires optional license). Supports lollipop and ballmill cutters for fast and effective edge deburring.
5-Axis ISO Machining: Extends 3D ISO machining capabilities to 5-axis, allowing machining of individual or contiguous surfaces along ISO lines (U and V).
Additive Manufacturing Improvements:
Linking Job: Simplifies programming of complex additive processes by linking multiple additive jobs with different technology parameters and 5-axis strategies, ensuring an optimized workflow.
Adaptive Density Minimal Surfaces (ADMS): Incorporates an algorithm from Spherene Inc. to generate self-supporting infill strategies for 3D printed parts, reducing mass and optimizing material properties.
3D Machining Enhancements:
Pocket Milling Algorithm: Redeveloped for 3D-optimized roughing with high feed cutters, offering better control for large lateral in-feeds and remaining material. Allows definition of contour and path radii for improved toolpath rounding.
Dynamic Stock Technology: Automatically generates updated stock conditions for all machining jobs, optimizing linking movements via the hyperMILL VIRTUAL Machining Optimizer.
CAD Improvements:
Extrusion of Complex Sketches: Enables easy extrusion of complex sketches with defined angles of inclination, automatically trimming intersecting surfaces. Ideal for creating molds or electrodes without rework.
Switch Visibility On/Off: Improves performance for large assemblies by allowing layers to be set as non-selectable before loading, enabling smoother workflows for complex models.
New Tessellation Algorithm: Enhances CAD model processing with simplified element display for better performance.
Collision Control and Machine Model Integration:
Use VM for Calculation: Incorporates the machine model directly into tool path calculations, ensuring precise collision control and avoidance, especially in tight spaces or near machine limits. The “Smooth Overlap” option ensures seamless transitions for residual material rework.
Closest C-Angle Option: Allows specific control over positioning via a preferred C-axis position under the NC Solutions tab.
Automation and Integration:
hyperMILL 2025 continues to emphasize automation, offering feature and macro technology to standardize and automate CAD/CAM processes. It integrates seamlessly with CAD systems like SOLIDWORKS, CATIA V5, Creo, and Siemens NX, supporting PMI and MBD data imports.
The Hummingbird Manufacturing Execution System (MES) enhances process planning and control, ensuring consistent data flow across the production chain.
Turning and Mill-Turn Enhancements:
Improved postprocessors for main/sub-spindle applications on Siemens, Fanuc, and Mitsubishi (Mazak) controls.
Supports mill-turn machines with A/C kinematics for increased safety and process control.
