Simplified rest machining and interaction with machine are just a few examples of how the software has been further refined. Previous versions of hyperMILL® offer a broad range of functions and strategies for turning, turn-milling and mill-turning.

The key extension in hyperMILL® TURNING Solutions is turret support for lathes. This also underscores OPEN MIND’s determination to push ahead with the integration of digital twins of machining centers: Lathes with one main spindle, one turret and a Siemens control system are now mapped with all tools true to the original machine with the help of hyperMILL® VIRTUAL Machining.

Users can conveniently equip the turret with turret holders and tools in the Virtual Machine machining planner and use the resulting setup for NC code simulation.

Reading Back Measuring Points

Another useful application of virtual machining technology is the reading back of measuring points. This means that users can use the 3D model of a component to see at a glance which measuring points are outside the tolerance.

As a result, it becomes much easier to analyze inaccuracies and tool wear after milling and then compensate for these in the CAD/CAM system. Moreover, the hyperMILL® SHOP Viewer makes this new function directly available on the machine tool.

CAD For CAM

hyperMILL 2024 also offers various new features concerning ‘CAD for CAM.’ hyperMill® supports the import of PMI (Product Manufacturing Information) and MBD (Model-Based Definition) data in various formats such as STEP, CATIA V5, SOLIDWORKS, Creo and Siemens. Improved functions for surface modelling now allow users to generate surfaces from a large number of grid curves. Another important CAD innovation is an improved electrode creation strategy that now supports three-dimensional eroding.

The project began last year with a projected end date of August 2019. A group of 10 partners is working together on the project, which involves using bionic design and additive manufacturing for every part of the life cycle of an aircraft as well as to develop a more lightweight plane model that will increase resource efficiency and produce fewer emissions.

About a year into the project, its participants have reported that they have made quite a bit of progress. CENIT is developing its very first CATIA-based computer aided design (CAD) catalogue containing parametrically defined bionic features in order to create bionically optimised components.

Jochen Michael, senior consultant at CENIT remarked that the parametrisation of features will make it easier for designers to adjust geometries, boosting quality and rendering the design process more efficient.

Once the first bionic features in CAD have been programmed, CENIT will develop feature recognition, a software tool that analyses a topologically optimised component and allocates it, automatically if possible, to a functionally equivalent bionic component in the CAD catalogue. By the end of the project, CENIT plans to have developed a CAD catalogue containing roughly 10 to 15 bionic features.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Additive Production Technologies is also developing bionically optimised features based on analyses of quantitative characteristics, uses and benefits of topology-based components. The goal is to improve the components’ behaviour in daily use and to make them as stable and lightweight as possible.

The institutions involved in the Bionic Aircraft project have set objectives of reducing the time needed for end-to-end development of bionic components by about 40 percent to tremendously increase the weight-saving potential of additively manufactured structures. The consortium will present its results so far to EU Commission at the midterm review of the project in April this year.
