Open Mind to showcase hyperMILL enhancements at Advanced Engineering

At Advanced Engineering (NEC, 31 October to 1 November), Open Mind Technologies will present the latest version of its hyperMILL CAD/CAM suite on Stand F20. The key focus will be the hyperMILL MAXX Machining performance package.

MAXX Machining incorporates novel strategies for roughing, finishing and drilling. Open Mind has also been instrumental in developing the next generation of conical barrel cutting tools for the 5-axis tangent plane machining strategy within MAXX Machining. The conical barrel cutter has a large radius that enables correspondingly wide step-overs between tool paths.

In addition, Advanced Engineering will also give the UK marketplace a first glance at some of the newly developed innovations launched at the recent AMB exhibition in Stuttgart. For instance; in the future, hyperMILL MAXX Machining will be available for 3D-optimised roughing, as well as for turning. Meanwhile, 5-axis tangent machining is available for corner filleting, a function that is said to guarantee simple radius programming at surface boundaries.
