What I would love is for a software to intuitively create good toolpaths without having to sit there for ages just to get the collision control strategies just right. If the jump from Mastercam to HyperMILL isn't going to deliver that much process improvement then it obviously isn't worth it.
My understanding is that HyperMILL is using proprietary software that basically blows away the competition when it comes to 5-axis applications. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, I just find that it takes damn near forever to get it to do what I want as a user. My main problem is that Mastercam is extremely complex when it comes to 5-axis. For the sake of this argument I am not considering other options that utilize the same ModuleWorks 5-axis toolpath engines. It went well, and I would really like to see what others think of HyperMILL and how it relates to other popular software solutions like Mastercam.
I had a long meeting with a HyperMILL salesperson today.
