OPEN MIND Technologies AG, a leading developer of CAD/CAM software solutions worldwide, announced it offers an ADDITIVE Manufacturing capability option in hyperMILL CAM software to support 3D printing/ additive processes.

 .

hyperMILL, together with ADDITIVE Manufacturing, also provides efficient hybrid processing with simultaneous additive and subtractive processing on one machine. For highly complex 5-axis simultaneous processing, hyperMILL ADDITIVE Manufacturing enables an array of flexible options for Directed Energy Deposition processes (DED) and Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM).

 .

Both laser-based powder nozzle machining heads and WAAM can be controlled using the program’s functions for selective material deposition and automatic simulation for collision avoidance. Using Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) and any necessary rework, hyperMILL supports the full potential of additive manufacturing. If 3D-printed parts do not have the desired surface finish, or has support structures that have to be removed, the parts, including hard-to-reach areas, can be machined after being printed using […]
