A Prehistoric Precision Masterpiece: T-Rex Comes to Life with hyperMILL and 5-Axis Machining


Tuesday 10 June 2025, 7:05:09 AM


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.
