Any hope of seeing this anytime soon? (had a part that begged for it this week.)

This cycle is available, with certain restrictions, but is not yet officially released.

Please contact OPENMIND, or your dealer, for more details

Yes, this cycle has been in "beta" for a long time.

It was developed around hyperMILL v8 technology, but never released.

It has a new life now but needs to be upgraded to v9 technology included stock model management and stock roughing. This will help us control step-overs and improve the results.

Our product management team is developing a requirements document to guide the developers. Your comments may still have a chance to be included.

I will also be meeting with a cutter vendor/partner next week who will also contribute to this spec.

We're hoping for a release in v9.6 or v10.0, but I am not in a position to claim release dates.

RDHawg:

Can you supply a picture of the model or the part on which you'd like to apply plunge milling? Just curious...

If you can't release to the public forum, then please send to support.americas@openmind-tech.com
