@greeny ?
I just swapped CAM computer to a Windows 10 and started running Hyperdent v8.
Question: Up at the top if you click general settings/special settings/screw channel algorithm, you have a yes or no.
How does that work? Im using a VHF M200.
Will selecting yes allow the puck holder to swivel a few degrees? So the screw channel needs to be nested with an orientation along that axis?

Imagine has a hyperdent pro tips and tricks zoom meeting coming up in the next few weeks.

I spoke to one of our engineers about this. So, it appears that V8 Hyperdent’s screw channel marking algorithm requires three points along the base of the screw channel. Those three points are then used to create a circle around the base of the screw channel which is then extruded up to the top of the screw channel.

The problem is that many designs do not have great delineation between the screw channel base and the cavity, so marking the initial 3 points does not always lead to a circle being identified.

Setting the screw channel algorithm setting to no will help with cases like this. It will try to create a circle from the three points regardless if it identifies a delineation or not. As you can expect, this can lead to either a good screw channel marked, or less than desirables results.

Our engineers indicated that they had not seen the puck holder swivel a few degrees. Also, the screw channel axis does not have to be nested along anything, as long as it is within the limits of the machine.

The V9 algorithm is supposed to be a little smarter,

hope this helps.
