In a jaw-dropping fusion of modern machining and prehistoric inspiration, a T-Rex head has been expertly milled from aluminium using 5-axis machining, demonstrating the capabilities of hyperMILL, GF Machining Solutions, and EMUGE-FRANKEN.
Machined on the Mikron HSM 400U LP, the demo part delivers:
- Flawless surface finishes
- Intricate, sharp detailing
- Impressive dimensional precision
The project perfectly illustrates the power of advanced CAD/CAM technology and machining expertise when combined — and just in time for Dinosaur Day!
This aluminium T-Rex isn’t just a showpiece; it’s a symbol of what’s possible when software, tooling, and machine performance align. From scale textures to fine edges, it’s clear that hyperMILL programming played a critical role in achieving such high-quality results.
