hyperMILL® Geometric Engine: Points, Curves, and Surfaces
Innovative basic version
The correct CAD system from the start: The innovative basic version of the CAD software in hyperMILL® (formerly hyperCAD®-S Geometric Engine) provides CAM programmers with extensive and powerful functions to help them solve standard CAD tasks quickly and easily.
Every CAM programmer is familiar with the standard CAD tasks of selecting, adding, deleting, modifying, showing, and hiding surfaces, curves, and points. Users expect top-quality results from the ruled, filling, and off-set surfaces that they create. hyperMILL® offers all this and much more.
CAD functions for the CAM programmer
Instead of relying on numerous distributed submenus (as is the case in conventional construction systems), hyperMILL® uses central, user-friendly dialogs with large icons. Smart selection mechanisms and innovative, freely definable filter functions make it considerably easier to use geometric entities for subsequent programming. Changes can be made to imported geometries in an instant and do not require inconvenient construction aids.
Features of the hyperMILL® Geometric Engine
-
Simplified use
Powerful navigation and selection functions provide support for working with large data records and many different CAD elements.
-
Fast processes and workflows
Numerous functions speed up the repair of external CAD& data. Geometry areas can be easily changed.
-
Visualization of changes
Fast geometry comparison immediately shows exactly where new versions of customer components have changed.
hyperMILL® Geometric Engine Details
Organizing elements
Various selection options:
- For curves: chain selection ‘from ... to’, minimal angle, tangential chain, stop at cross
- For faces: tangential, limited, coaxial, coplanar, fillets, chamfer
- Per window, lasso, chain, circular or arc-shaped, for all or for only visible elements
- According to properties, such as color and layer, and according to tags such as geometry dimensions, import data and import systems
Face selection: coaxial
Face selection: coplanar
Face selection: Fillets
Face selection: tangential
Multiple workplanes
It is possible to define multiple workplanes. Saved workplanes make it easy to perform transformations. The planes can also be imported to other files at any time.
Standard preparation for milling
It is easy to create frequently required building, extension, machining and stop faces in a structured manner. This is also the case with boundary and guide curves as well as further construction aids, planes and axis systems.
Breakthroughs and holes in planar and non-planar surfaces can be quickly and easily closed with hyperMILL®.
Practical analysis functions
The analysis functions allow draft areas and highly complex geometries to be located quickly and reliably. This enables you to assess the quality of an existing component immediately, and recognize problems quickly.
