Emphasis on Volumill. T Start date Jun 10, Replies 57 Views 2, T Cast Iron. Joined Jul 23, Location Los Angeles. I know this gets brought up every now and again, I've read all the recent posts. I'd like to discuss again before we pull the trigger.
Perhaps someone has some new insight. I just joined a high end aerospace company as their 5 axis guy. We are looking to upgrade our cam system. I use Mastercam, they use Gibbs. We are looking at either Mastercam or Hypermill. Most of our parts are prismatic in nature, less organic or mold type features.
But I suspect that will change now that I'm on board. Everything about hypermill seems great to me. With one BIG exception. They use volumill, which in my experience with Gibbs is an absolute dumpster fire compared to Optirough, or iMachining.
Now Gibbs isn't exactly on top of their game, so it's possible their implementation of volumills processing isn't as good as it could be.
I have given hypermill a few test cuts to compare to mastercam and Gibbs. The Gibbs toolpath is almost identical. The mastercam toolpath destroys both. So with all that in mind, do you find that the advantages of hypermill outweigh the dated roughing algorithms found in volumill?
Finally tell my anything else I don't know about hypermill vs mastercam that we should consider before making the purchase. Joined Nov 14, Location canada. I wouldn't suggest learning a new software and trying to impressing your new employer at the same time. You won't be able to do both. You know what Mastercam can do, why risk your reputation on software you don't know.
While I agree with you in principle, I've known my new employer for many years. We are good. He knows it'll be months before we get anywhere. Joined Oct 27, Location On Tour I believe, Hypermill like all has a big learning curve. Joined Sep 8, T said:. Click to expand We're in Chatsworth area. I've definitely heard a lot of good things about NX. But isn't it primarily useful for Siemens controls? We are a Heidenhain shop At least in the 5 axis department. I'm sure it doesn't actually matter, but that's my understanding anyway.
Also what do you dislike about hypermill? I already know what I dislike about mastercam. I think it's a very good all around cam package, but it certainly has it's issues.
Maybe 10 percent of the time it sucks Hank on copy is our post developer. He'll respond with a quote as soon as the form is completed. With that Micron on the way, we'll want to get the post sorted out as soon as possible. There are posts the come out of the box with NX that could be used in a pinch. But normally we want to have a post ready when the machine lands and is ready for testing. Best, the mastercam and hypermill quotes i've gotten were right along this price, give or take k, but as we all know, thats without a TRUE CAD system.

Do they like change? If they are, why wait until you arrive to update the place? Or are they just telling you yeh yeh yeh we're interested, while they actually don't want it? Because splitting the dept to 5ax only, where you have a total different set of tools, potentially sets you up for a whole lot of finger pointing, from the rest of them.
Do you need solidworks - how many models do you create, or is it not many because you receive them from customers - in which case Mastercams Well, NX's in reality Remembering of course, you need holiday and sick cover - so when Brian is away, "someone" will be able to open your files and drive the software because when you're away, there WILL be problems I'm not dampening - just pointing out some thinking points Larry Dickman Titanium.
Joined Jan 30, Location Temecula, Ca. Mastercam pretty well sucks, hands down. It's only advantage is that any idiot can download a crack and learn it on their kitchen table. Hypermill is far beyond. I liked Optirough a lot better than Volumill. Keep in mind that MC bought Opti, they had nothing to do with it, which is why it works. When I first used Volumill, I was disappointed. I thought it was a real pile of shit. They made some upgrades and now I think it works pretty good. Hypermill has a new roughing module but I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but it's supposed to blow volumill away.
