up2parts autoCAM for hyperMILL

up2parts autoCAM for hyperMILL® is an AI-based solution that automates and speeds up CAM programming by utilizing your company’s own production data, geometry, and tolerance information. The solution is designed to complement your existing hyperMILL® environment and enhance programming efficiency without the need for complex macro- or rule-based approaches.

In many machine shops, CAM programming is still time-consuming and largely relies on experienced programmers. Repetitive processes, manual selections, and inconsistent programming practices strain resources and slow down production throughput. up2parts autoCAM addresses these challenges by bringing AI-assisted automation directly to hyperMILL®—enabling programming up to 70% faster.

Automation for Your Existing CAM Environment

up2parts autoCAM does not replace hyperMILL® or change your existing CAM infrastructure—it works as a fully integrated add-on. The solution creates CAM program suggestions in just a few minutes and transfers them directly to hyperMILL®, where NC code is generated as usual via the postprocessor.

The result is significantly shorter programming times, less manual work, and a more cost-effective CAM process—without compromising on quality or control.

How up2parts autoCAM Works in hyperMILL®

  1. Open the up2parts autoCAM add-on in hyperMILL® and select your part
    The CAM project is created directly within the familiar hyperMILL® environment.
  2. Automatic recommendations for operations and tools
    up2parts analyzes the part’s geometry, tolerances, and your company’s manufacturing strategies, generating a proposal for operations, tools, cutting parameters, and settings in just seconds.
  3. Refine, simulate, and generate NC code
    The user can modify the suggestions, run a simulation, and generate NC code as usual using hyperMILL®’s postprocessor.

All user changes are fed back to up2parts, allowing the AI to learn and better adapt to your company’s unique machining strategies.

AI Suggests – Programmer Decides

up2parts autoCAM is powered by AI that generates CAM program suggestions without traditional macro- or rule-based logic. The system automatically suggests:

  • Machining operations
  • Tools
  • Settings
  • Cutting parameters

Consistent programming practices lighten the workload of experienced CAM programmers and make onboarding new users easier. Automation supports expertise, not replaces it.

Tolerances and PMI as Part of CAM Programming

up2parts autoCAM leverages tolerance information (PMI) when creating CAM programs. If STEP AP242 models are not available, tolerances can be added manually within up2parts.

You can attach the following to the CAD model, for instance:

  • Surface roughness
  • Threads
  • Fits
  • Dimensional and geometric tolerances

Tolerances can also be read from PDF drawings and saved to the part in a structured way. This enables automatic creation of multiple operations according to tolerance requirements and improves the acceptance of programs in actual production.

Tools and Production Data on Your Terms

Tool data can be imported to up2parts in several ways:

  • CSV or XML import
  • ToolsUnited integration

The system utilizes your company’s actual machine pool, tools, and manufacturing strategies. This ensures that CAM suggestions are based on your real production conditions, not generic assumptions.

What Doesn’t up2parts autoCAM Do?

up2parts autoCAM does not generate NC code on its own. Toolpaths and NC code are always created through hyperMILL® and the postprocessor in use. This provides full control, security, and compatibility with your existing production processes.
