OPEN MIND hyperMILL® CAM SOFTWARE SLAM DUNKS 5-AXIS MACHINING APP.

NEEDHAM, MA U.S.A. (December 11, 2017) – OPEN MIND Technologies AG ( www.openmind-tech.com/), a leading developer of CAM software solutions worldwide, has announced its hyperMILL® CAM software has provided 5-axis programming to successfully replicate a basketball hoop. The basketball hoop was machined on a GROB G350 5-axis machining center using conical ball barrel cutters from OSG.

 

 

 

Starting with a 180 lb. block of aluminum and using a 12.6 inch (320 mm) length cutting tool, the finished basketball hoop was milled to 1 1b. 4 oz., a 99.3% material reduction. The hoop has an intricate design that was machined to the finest levels of detail.

The application showcases hyperMILL's extreme high performance capability for complex 5-axis machining including milling deep pockets and finishing curved shapes. Superior collision control enables a long cutting tool to cut in extremely tight contours. The outer regions were machined with hyperMILL® MAXX Machining roughing applied with a 5-axis shape-offset roughing process. hyperMILL, one of the industry’s most advanced, comprehensive CAM software, provides users a broad array of features designed to improve their manufacturing process with unmatched speed and flexibility.
