hyperMILL 2021.2 offers numerous new functions that will simplify and speed up your daily tasks.

Programming with hyperMILL 2021.2 is getting faster, and the software has also become more user-friendly. One example of this is the convenient and secure display of the referenced geometry data in the individual strategies.

Important enhancements, such as “High precision surface mode” and “Smooth overlap,” ensure an even more versatile application of our 3-axis and 5-axis strategies.
Thanks to the BEST FIT highlight, hyperMILL enables component alignment at the touch of a button. A new method guarantees highly efficient and safe movements for machining centers with a machine tunnel.

Advanced visualization options

New functions in hyperMILL ensure a better overview during CAM programming.

Automatic stock display
The stock can now be displayed automatically for any machining job. This means that, if required, the used stock can become immediately visible when a job is selected. This visualization option can be activated or deactivated at any time in the shortcut menu or by double-clicking the light bulb symbol.

Preview of selected entities
The entities used in a job, such as curves, faces, or points, are highlighted in hyperMILL when this job is selected. The visualization option can be activated or deactivated at any time using the “Q” shortcut.

Info: The preview of selected entities is only available in hyperCAD-S.

3D Z-level Shape Finishing

Several innovations help to improve machining.

Optimized sorting of toolpaths
The reduced number of retractions ensures more homogeneous toolpaths

Smooth overlap at boundary
The toolpaths overlap beyond the boundary, allowing transition-free machining

Free tool geometry
A free tool geometry can now be used for the calculation and simulation of the toolpaths

Trim toolpath to stock
This option allows toolpaths to now be trimmed to the stock, and unnecessary toolpaths are avoided

Benefit: Increased machining quality.
