Open Mind delivers hyperMill extensions for 20th anniversary

To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Open Mind Technologies says it is offering a comprehensive expansion of its hyperMill CAM software. The expansion includes:

• The introduction of a range of tool types to include reamers, lens cutters and barrel cutters – the latter available as general, tapered and tangential variants. • The use of a measuring sensor for the 3D point measuring cycle. • Improved 5-axis rework machining. • Strategies for adjusting the tool to the machining model (axial and lateral projections can be selected for this purpose). • Automatic 3D rest machining, which allows the automatic detection of rest material areas where additional roughing is necessary. • The ability to define the direction of drilling using workplanes. Relative clearance planes are now used for different workplanes according to user specifications (global clearance planes are no longer used). • Simplified turbine blade milling.
