Hypermill future improvements wish list

[single phase]

Open and closed pocket machining with tool paths that ensure that there are never any full width cuts. I would love to see this kind of functionality in Hypermill. This is a pic if it from the OneCNC web site.



This functionality is in BobCAD, MasterCAM and other top CAM products. Open Mind needs to add it too.

A downloadable demo version with comprehensive tutorials to go with it.

More and better videos on YouTube showing how Hypermill works.

We have an office in Riverside County. Please contact us at info.americas@openmind-tech.com for more information.

We also have a video gallery showing applications on

Thank you for the response.

The video gallery shows parts being cut on machine tools. I wish to see parts being programmed in Hypermill. Big difference.

Why do you have no demo along with comprehensive tutorials for Hypermill so someone can download Hypermill and try it?

This thread is the Hypermill wish list thread for features in the software. This needs to be constructive and positive. Not a place for gripes.

Please start a new thread for your topic and lets keep this thread on topic.

One thing I wanted to add here is that OneCNC's implementation of this does not allow for entering an open pocket. That is unfortunate, this kind of feature is way more powerful if it can be used around the outside of a part too.

Just to set the record straight..this statement is Not true..

OneCNC's HS tool paths do indeed function with both open and closed features..2D and #d too..

But I respect this is a Hypermill thread and don't want to hijack it..

hijack it !!! No way do I consider it hijacked. Thank you for responding. We stand corrected.

The reason I said what I did was because a friend of mine just had a OneCNC video IM with a sales engineer last week. We are working on a part that has just such an open architecture and the engineer did not know how to proceed on this very point.

Here is a copy of the sample igs file that he was using for the OneCNC demo. Can you tool path it?

SF: Your point on roughing is noted. We will inform you by direct method if/when we have a comment on this.

HS: As your discussion continues, it is best to contact under your threads. Of course, the correct answer is important. But SF also makes a poignant comment that products are not always presented to their capability by company representatives.

Out of respect for this thead being about HyperMill..

Could you start a new thread in the OneCNC section. And I'll be glad to see if I can answer your Questions..

Hi

A really nice feature of HyperMILL for SolidWorks will be able to choose a solid body as a stock model.
