PRODUCTION OF T SLOTS,
DESIGN OF ELECTRODES
Open Mind Technologies has introduced version
2017.2 of i ts Hy p e r M ill CA M sof t wa re su i te,
enhanced for speed and flexibility.
It is designed to enable the production of T-slots
with a few clicks. Two types of feature recognition
are included: T-slots, and pockets with bottom
and T-slots.
Another feature is 3D
Optimized Roughing, a
machining enhancement
for roughing rest mate-
rial. To further optimize
stepover strategy, the
user can adjust machin-
ing parameters to the
condition of the tool by
calculating optimal width
in relation to additional
c h i p t h i c k n e s s a n d
depth value, which is
beneficial for tools with
longer cutting lengths
that can be controlled

Electrode, which was
developed for CAM pro-
grammers and is said
to enable fast design of

with the necessary sur-
