Part diversity – flexibility is key

Are you milling proto­types from a solid block? Do you make forging dies and thermo­forming tools? Or do you have secondary operations after investment castings or printed implants? hyperMILL® has the right tool­paths for the entire range of parts in the medical device industry. Generate secure NC codes easily and flexibly and significantly reduce your costs-per-part.

Variety of materials – CAM system as an important factor

Are you challenged trying to machine titanium, cobalt-chrome or UHMWPE? Use the power­ful tool data­base with inter­faces to catalogs from well-known tool manufacturers.
Suitable technology parameters combined with proven 2.5D, 3D or 5‑axis strategies are crucial for success. Even the most demanding materials can be easily machined with hyperMILL®.

Automate with ease

Do you produce many part families in several standard sizes every day?
Automate CAM programming of bone plates, knee implants or forging dies for hip stems with hyperMILL®. Numerous, successfully im­ple­men­ted automation projects with our customers speak for them­selves. You can take advantage of this enormous potential for time savings as well!
Feel free to contact us.

“Aesculap selected hyperMILL® in 2008 with an objective to increasing productivity. The implementation with hyperMILL® aimed to produce safe NC programs on the machines faster. Machining times had to be reduced with­out loss of quality. Thanks to hyperMILL®, we were able to quickly achieve these goals.”

Femoral component

hyperMILL®'s 3D and 5‑axis strategies are perfect for complex geo­metries. You can achieve huge time savings with barrel cutters or use special tools with the “Free Tip Geometry” function.
Thanks to the digital twin of the virtual machine, you can already see in the simulation what will happen on the machine.

Inlay

Benefit from efficient tool­paths for the machining of knee implant in­lays. Ultra-high-molecular weight-polyethylene is not easy to ma­chi­ne. A powerful tool data­base and inter­faces to tool catalogs gua­ran­tee reliable processes and excellent sur­faces when machining en­gi­nee­red plastics.


Hip Replacement

Producing hip shafts in all variants requires know-how in many areas. Proto­types made from a solid block or forging dies for production can be machined comfortably, in highest quality.

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.

hyperMILL® 5‑Axis Machining: Lamination Anchor

This video shows the 5‑axis machining process of a lamination anchor for the medical device industry on a Hermle C 12 U dynamic using tools by Emuge Franken. Machining such parts requires a reliable and flexible CAM solution with strong 5‑axis capabilities. hyperMILL® fulfills all these re­qui­re­ments.
