hyperMILL^® CAD/CAM software suite at Meximold

Resulting in simplified programming and increased process reliability, attendees can see how the hyperMILL^® VIRTUAL Machining Optimizer module links individual part programs with smooth and safe connections, enabling the cutter to remain close to the workpiece, so that violations of the axis limitations are detected and movement sequences are optimized accordingly. The Optimizer feature enhances fixed rotary and parallel axes by automatically locating a kinematically correct and collision-free solution. This saves time by eliminating the need to manually interact with the axes.

A recently enhanced milling surface extension in hyperMILL^® for “3D Z-Level Shape Finishing” and “3D Profile Finishing” strategies will also be demonstrated. The process ensures high-quality and reliable surface extensions when required, even with complex geometries. Users can reliably and easily protect sharp edges and divide up machining areas, especially useful for creating high-quality surfaces in tool and mold making when combined with a hyperMILL^® “Smooth Overlap” feature. “Smooth overlap” helps to avoid ridges and visible edges at transitions from flat to steep component areas.
