Open Mind Technologies, headquartered in Wessling, Germany, announced it will demonstrate the Additive Manufacturing capability of its hyperMILL CAD/CAM Software Suite at the upcoming Additive Manufacturing Users Group (AMUG) event taking place March 30 to April 1, 2025, in Chicago, Illinois, USA.

hyperMILL Additive Manufacturing provides hybrid processing with simultaneous additive and subtractive processing on one machine. As an early adopter of driving forward the implementation of integrated process chains, Open Mind has optimised hyperMILL AM technology to boost the efficiency, precision and process reliability of additive and hybrid manufacturing. At AMUGexpo, attendees can see additive part examples that were programmed and optimised with hyperMILL Additive Manufacturing.

For highly complex 5-axis simultaneous processing, hyperMILL Additive Manufacturing enables an array of flexible options for Directed Energy Deposition (DED) processes. Both laser-based powder nozzle machining heads and WAAM can be controlled using hyperMILL Additive Manufacturing for selective material deposition, as well as conveniently programmed and automatically simulated for collision avoidance. Using Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) and any necessary rework, hyperMILL supports the full potential of AM. hyperMILL enables users to programme cladding and milling together.

True-to-detail additive and subtractive simulation, as well as stock tracking between the individual process steps, is said to guarantee the greatest possible reliability. Key additive applications include the repair of damaged components, the 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.

A Virtual Machining capability for AM processes is also offered, where machines often have limited axis ranges. Now hyperMILL Virtual Machining Optimizer can be used during NC code generation to simulate additive tool paths to optimise them for the machining.
