    Power Systems

    They are important supporters in the daily business of surgery. Often finish machining of the casted hou­sings is necessary. But this increases production costs enormously. That's why it is important to quickly get to safe NC code. No matter if it is simple tapping or complex 5-axis machining. hyperMILL® offers you the necessary flexibility and user-friendliness.

    Containers

    The development of containers to hold kits with sterile medical devices is commonplace. For the ma­nu­fac­tu­ring of thermoforming tools, hyperMILL® already plays an important role for many of our customers. Because with the right CAM software you save programming and machining times. Feature recognition can be helpful to organize pockets and holes. Avoid time-consuming ball mill finishing and start finishing in record time. With conical barrel cutters and our hyperMILL® MAXX Machining finishing module, you can manufacture your tools much more economically.
