Roughing cycle facilitates machining with low wear for tool and machine

In addition to the performance package, the Hypermill 2016.1 release contains a number of other new features and optimisations.

The new, 3D-optimised rest material roughing allows for the generation of HSC-optimised toolpaths for rest material machining based on a preceding roughing operation. One special feature of this strategy is its highly dynamic toolpaths, which provide soft transitional movements and outstanding surface quality. It also increases feed rates when leaving the stock, thus allowing for very fast machining times. The calculation times are extremely quick thanks to new technology. All in all, the roughing cycle facilitates machining with low wear for both the tool and the machine itself.

With Hypermill, users can now define both tool geometries and complex shaft geometries quickly and easily – the latter using either parameters or free-form definition. Both special shaft shapes and tool holders can be fully mapped out and will be factored into the collision check.
