hyperMILL® 2024 is the latest of OPEN MIND’s CAD/CAM suite, which delivers new turning features and improved algorithms. This makes the digital process chain more efficient, from CAD data and CAM programming to optimised NC code.

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.

Open Mind’s hyperMill virtual machining software generates a bi-directional communication link between the machine control and the software for process control and optimisation. This allows for virtual mapping of the actual processes so that machining operations can be evaluated, checked and optimised before running the job.

The core software, called the hyperMill Machining Centre, virtually maps actual machining operations, including transition movements. This enables users to generate NC code-based simulations of virtual machine movements that match the machine movements in real life. Other modules have added functions, such as the Machining Optimiser that uses algorithms to determine tool position for effective traverse movements during machining.

Open Mind’s Hypermill CAM Software features a range of machining strategies, from 2.5D and 3D solutions for high-speed cutting to 5-axis machining and mill turning. Special packages for machining of impeller, blisk and blade machining can also be found.

For example, the roughing module in the performance package includes numerous cycles for milling in trochoidal tool paths. The finishing module of the Maxx machining performance package includes pre-finishing and finishing of planes and free-form surfaces with various barrel cutters. All tool paths are checked for collisions.
