Open Mind Technologies’ HyperMill 2025 CAD/CAM Software Suite features highly productive programming and machining strategies to enable accurate, efficient 2.5D, 3D, precision five-axis and mill/turn machining.
The five-axis automatic tool orientation mode in HyperMill 2025 ensures optimized machining to provide efficient and reliable tool paths on the most complex molds and components. The five-axis automatic tool orientation mode algorithm uses a pre-analysis of the entire tool path to calculate machining sequences of simultaneous and indexed tool movements, reducing the number of inputs required for five-axis machining and saving time when programming challenging parts.
The pocket milling algorithm for high-feed cutters in HyperMill 2025 has been redeveloped for 3D-optimized roughing, achieving greater efficiency during roughing as well as better machining control, which is useful when machining large lateral in-feeds and remaining material. Contour and path radii can also be defined, resulting in improved toolpath rounding.
A fast, easy and safe five-axis hole deburring strategy excels at deburring sharp edges on holes and intersecting holes. By using CAM Plan programming assistance and analysis technology to automatically recognize all the holes, the sharp edges in the model are marked for selecting the desired edges. The hole deburring technology automatically calculates tool paths, and supports three-axis and five-axis modes. Also, the software now offers a five-axis deburring strategy for fast and efficient deburring of component edges. Users may choose between three-axis machining and a five-axis option, which enables greater reach to more component edges, automatically generating the required inclinations as well as collision avoidance.
Linking movements via HyperMill Virtual Machining Optimizer have been further optimized for actual stock conditions with new Dynamic Stock technology. Using Dynamic Stock, an updated stock is automatically generated for all machining jobs and accounted for when calculating linking movements.
