Open Mind Technologies’ hyperMill CAM software features an additive manufacturing (AM) capability option, which is said to provide efficient hybrid processing with simultaneous additive and subtractive processing on one machine.
The company says it has optimized its hyperMill AM technology to boost the efficiency, precision and process reliability of additive and hybrid manufacturing.
For highly complex 5-axis simultaneous processing, the software enables an array of flexible options for directed energy deposition processes (DED) and wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), the company says. Both laser-based powder nozzle machining heads and WAAM can be controlled using hyperMill AM for selective material deposition, as well as conveniently programming and automatically simulating the path for collision avoidance.
Key additive applications include repair of damaged components, cladding of additional surface skins or the creation of new components from a substrate. This also creates totally new options for combining different materials, such as when high-quality material layers need to be applied to carrier materials.
