I'm in the process of upgrading to full 5 axis machining. I would like to know Pros and cons of hypermill. Especially support, learning tools, and upgrade costs(maintenance fees).

SFIf you are using Rhino maybe you are using all of its wonderful surface features. If that is the case I do not know if Open Mind has a solution for you.
I've been using Hypermill for about a year. Very happy with it, it's my main CAM software now. Best thing I've ever used for multi-axis work, I came from using Siemens NX and I think it is far superior. They are definitely the most innovative company when it comes to new tool paths for 5 axis, such as barrel cutters.
Not that I'm in the market for either, but how is Hypermill on 3, and 3+2 axis operations?
I wasn't looking at Hypermill until seeing here that it integrates with Inventor. I'm getting quotes now, but one thing that may be problematic is it doesn't sound like they play nice with CAMplete.
AD says Powermill is machine and fixture aware as it generates the toolpaths; does Hypermill do this as well if you have a model of the machine? I don't want to have to regenerate toolpaths due to things like spindle/trunnion collisions...
I'm getting quotes now
...Training is either formal one-on-one or remote support. They are excellent at getting back to you when you need help, another reason I jumped over from NX...
