Hypermill 5axis how to#

Sure, auto stock 'tracking' (or whatever you call it) could be nice, but hated how I had to regen ops if I moved them around (maybe not actually related to the sim function). I thought the sim was not very good (visually) and missing a few easy buttons IMO. Maybe I am just used to something different. This has me stumped (sorry to derail your thread some OP ).

It's quite bizarre to me that some companies use/support multiple softwares. Of all the NX users I know from the PLM World RUG most of them use native simulation and the few who use Vericut were using it before they switched to NX. I definitely recommend going through Siemens if possible but have heard small accounts are sometimes channeled through VAR's. Support through Siemens is top notch but support through a VAR can be hit and miss unfortunately. *I am sure there are better ways, but I never had a chance to learn them, and even using the online learning and submitting tickets we were met with alot of 'that is how you do it, no that can't be done' etc Defining speeds and feeds for every op (with same tools), navigating to a seperate window (why the FUCK did they do that anyways?!?) EVERY SINGLE TIME to enable/turn on 'start events' (coolant) etc.* For what I do the MCX workflow is fantastic and NX would have me pulling my hair out. I would hate to have to use it everyday for what I am programming now.

Lots and lots of things need to be set up, and to me they aren't clear where to go and even how to do it, even after using for a while and taking a class. NX has some kickass tools that I barely got to play with so I am sure they get even better with experience! BUT. OR you realize all your parts are 'familiar' enough once you work thru a couple it becomes simple (to you) and you really wish you hadn't paid for all the glitz! You might love Hypermill or Powermill (for example, I have never used either) for your intended 5ax parts, but realize the workflow craps out for simple 3ax stuff. Need to weight the pros and cons (duh LoL) of each system in regards to your product. Is it only 5 axis you need? Are you replacing a current cam system for better 5ax functionality? Just curious. Even if you went to a reseller and said 'Hey, I got prices from xx guys for xx dollars' They will likely spin some BS on you anyways, because that salesman, or that office, needs to make their cut. I doubt you will get any numbers (at least that matter). having to go through a fucking ordeal just to get a price on a product, what an outdated methodology. Does anyone have concrete #'s for hypermill? i had a brief conversation with a hypermill rep, i guess they're all in germany this week for training so we didnt get to talk in much detail, but i think he mentioned something like 26k?
