Milling, turning and CAD functions for daily CAM tasks

hyperMILL® 2024 the latest version of OPEN MIND’s CAD/CAM suite delivers new turning features and improved algorithms. This makes the digital process chain even more efficient, from CAD data and CAM programming to optimized 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® already 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…
