Recently, OPEN MIND Technologies (NEEDHAM, MA) introduced a range of enhanced features and updates in its hyperMILL 2025 CAD/CAM Software Suite. The suite supports 2.5D, 3D, 5-axis, and mill/turn machining strategies for precision manufacturing.
hyperMILL 2025 provides software tools for efficient programming and optimized tool path generation across a variety of machining processes and geometries.
Features & Benefits:
-
Adds a 5-axis automatic tool orientation mode for optimized machining of complex components
-
Uses pre-analysis of tool paths to determine efficient indexed and simultaneous tool movements
-
Reduces manual input during 5-axis programming
-
Introduces a 5-axis hole deburring strategy for automated edge deburring on holes and intersecting geometries
-
Automatically recognizes sharp edges using CAM Plan analysis tools
-
Supports 3-axis and 5-axis deburring modes for greater reach and collision avoidance
-
Includes a redeveloped pocket milling algorithm for high-feed cutters
-
Enables 3D-optimized roughing
-
Enhances control for large lateral in-feeds and remaining stock
-
Allows user-defined contour and path radii for smoother toolpaths
-
-
Enhances linking movements with VIRTUAL Machining Optimizer using Dynamic Stock
-
Automatically updates stock models for accurate linking path calculation
-
-
Adds revised 5-axis Profile Milling cycle and a new 5-axis ISO Machining cycle
-
Improves turning postprocessor support for Siemens, Fanuc, and Mitsubishi (Mazak) controls in main/sub spindle applications
Suitable for manufacturers requiring advanced CAD/CAM programming capabilities in industries such as aerospace, medical, automotive, and precision engineering.
