Postprocessors are tailored to specific machines, controllers, and manufacturing processes. Different tools and features simplify the day for your staff across the entire maintenance and programming cycle. Optimized toolpaths and intelligent cut division provide increased process safety for the remaining thin ridges. When there is a large step-over, a special toolpath movement removes the rest material from corners. OPEN MIND develops optimized CAM solutions that include a large number of unique features that are not available anywhere else to provide significantly better performance in programming and machining. OPEN MIND is one of the world’s most sought-after developers of powerful CAM solutions for machine and controller-independent programming. The company claims that the new version includes enhancements for 3D Shape Z level Finishing, 3D Optimized Raising, and enhanced CAD functionality. You can calculate the step-over distance by measuring the scallop height against the high-feed cutter geometry. hyperMILL 2018.1 has an enhanced 3D-optimized roughing process for high feed cutter applications. New software features include 3D Shape Z level Finishing, 3D Optimized roughing, and improved CAD functionality. The efficient use of resources has resulted in significant improvements in programming and machining time.

A report includes the reference system as well as the eroding position of each electrode copy. These electrode copies can be checked for collisions and assigned new technology values.

It also offers a Virtual Electrode function that securely creates electrode copies. The electrode module allows for the quick design of die-sinking electrodes.
