A Conversion Platform for Multi-Software NC Programming

In this paper, a conversion platform based on UG CAM and HyperMILL is proposed combining the advantages of both. Complicated features can be programmed with 5-axis machining in HyperMILL, then transformed into tool path files that can be recognized and processed by UG CAM through the platform. Relevant tool information can also be obtained and output during the conversion process for unified management. A case study is presented to validate the proposed methodology and platform.
