November 21, 2013 - OPEN MIND Technologies USA, Inc. has released hyperMILL® 2013.2 to new customers and those with active service agreements. This release follows a consistent approach by OPEN MIND to provide enhancements across all product functions ranging from 2.5D through 5-axis and mill-turn.
Some of the highlights in the 2013 release include:
- hyperMAXX® high performance roughing (based on Volumill™ kernel offered for 2D pocketing, in addition to existing high performance roughing applications in 3-axis arbitrary stock roughing and 5-axis shape offset roughing.
- dedicated rib machining strategies
- advanced turning performance and controls for hard materials and ceramic inserts
- Smooth link connections applied to drilling, multi-axis drilling, indexed face milling and other strategies. These link connection moves have collision protection and are performed at high feedrate to improve the performance of the machine compared to frequent switching into rapid modes.
- increased utilization of barrel cutters that allow larger step-downs and still achieve smooth surface finish
hyperMILL 2013.2 also includes the continued progression of hyperCAD-S® 2013.2, a specifically developed software to provide a CAD for CAM front-end for hyperMILL, in addition to integrated solutions with popular CAD systems Dassault Systemes SolidWorks® and Autodesk Inventor®.
American customers with maintenance contracts will soon be invited to Informational Webinar to explain the added functions. The rollout process in other countries is managed locally.
