If subtractive manufacturing, 2.5D, 3D and 5-axis milling come to mind, you are absolutely right, but you are not yet up to date. That&#8217;s because the <strong><em>hyperMILL<\/em><\/strong> CAD\/CAM suite is now being expanded to meet the requirements of <strong>industrial 3D printing <\/strong>: the new <strong><em>hyperMILL<\/em>ADDITIVE Manufacturing<\/strong> software allows both <strong>subtractive and additive manufacturing<\/strong>to be optimally controlled. We have summarized all the information for you.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>hyperMILL<\/em>goes additive<\/h3>\n\n<p><em>hyperMILL<\/em>Additive Manufacturing is a highly flexible CAM software for <strong>additive 2D, 3D and 5-axis machining<\/strong>. It can be used to conveniently and reliably program machines that use the <strong>powder nozzle process <\/strong>and to precisely rework 3D printed parts manufactured using <strong>powder bed technology <\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p>In the <strong>powder nozzle process or direct energy deposition process (DED) <\/strong>, the material is applied selectively to the component or a platform using a laser, for example. For the best possible results, the material application is actively controlled by <em>hyperMILL<\/em>Additive Manufacturing. <em>hyperMILL<\/em>is one of the world&#8217;s first software programs to support this additive manufacturing process. <\/p>\n\n<p>With<strong> powder bed technology or powder bed fusion (PBF)<\/strong>, the component is manufactured by printing layer by layer in a powder bed, using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.materialise.com\/de\/software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Materialise<\/a> software solution offered by WESTCAM, for example, to control the machine. However, in order to produce 100% precise functional components, the 3D-printed <strong>parts<\/strong> must be <strong>post-processed<\/strong>. As this often involves complex geometries and areas that are difficult to access, <strong>5-axis technology<\/strong> is required for this. This is where <em>hyperMILL<\/em>leads the global market: the software integrates seamlessly into the process chain during post-processing and analyzes, mills and inspects the printed components.   <\/p>\n\n<p><em><strong>An example of additive manufacturing of a nozzle for the aerospace industry:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"cookieconsent-optout-marketing\">\n    Bitte  <a href=\"javascript:Cookiebot.renew()\">Marketing-Cookies akzeptieren<\/a>, um dieses Video zu laden.\n    <\/div>\n            <iframe data-cookieblock-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xK_SvODK4hg?feature=oembed\" data-cookieconsent=\"marketing\" title=\"WESTCAM hyperMILL ADDITVE Manufacturing 2021\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\"  frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Super combination: Hybrid Manufacturing<\/h3>\n\n<p>But that&#8217;s not all &#8211; the use of <em>hyperMILL<\/em>ADDITIVE Manufacturing software goes one step further: many manufacturers are now integrating a laser processing head into their CNC machines in order to combine the strengths of additive manufacturing on the one hand and subtractive manufacturing on the other. This is referred to as a <strong>hybrid manufacturing process<\/strong>, which is now optimally supported by <em>hyperMILL<\/em>ADDTIVE Manufacturing: With the innovative software solution, both build-up welding and milling can be programmed and controlled together. The greatest possible process reliability is guaranteed by a detailed build-up and removal simulation as well as blank tracking between the individual machining steps. With <em>hyperMILL<\/em>ADDITIVE Manufacturing, <strong>the potential of hybrid manufacturing<\/strong> can be <strong>fully exploited<\/strong>.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Areas of application<\/h3>\n\n<p>The use of <em>hyperMILL<\/em>Additive Manufacturing is particularly interesting for the <strong>repair of damaged components<\/strong>, for example in mold and tool making or in the aerospace industry. The software can also be used to combine different materials, for example when high-quality material layers are to be applied to carrier materials. <\/p>\n\n<p>The following video shows the <strong>repair of an engine blade using hybrid production:<\/strong> First, the damaged area is <strong>milled off (subtractive manufacturing)<\/strong>, then <strong>new material is applied additively<\/strong> and subsequently machined.<\/p>\n\n<p>The entire process is controlled by <em>hyperMILL<\/em>Additive Manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"cookieconsent-optout-marketing\">\n    Bitte  <a href=\"javascript:Cookiebot.renew()\">Marketing-Cookies akzeptieren<\/a>, um dieses Video zu laden.\n    <\/div>\n            <iframe data-cookieblock-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j1TMAcSHFi0?feature=oembed\" data-cookieconsent=\"marketing\" title=\"WESTCAM hyperMILL ADDITIVE Manufacturing CAM meets 3D Druck\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\"  frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Would you like to see hyperMILL ADDITIVE Manufacturing for yourself?
