OPEN MIND Technologies AG is extremely pleased with the response to their presence at the AMB trade fair in Stuttgart. OPEN MIND, a manufacturer of CAM/CAD software and post processors, believes that the high number of visitors at their booth demonstrates that the current development of the hyperMILL® suite has great potential for modern manufacturing.
The reception at the OPEN MIND exhibition booth far surpassed the software maker’s expectations. “We had almost twice as many requests as we did two years ago.
The thoroughly positive response to the current version of hyperMILL® shows that we have the right solutions for the needs of the market”, said Claudio Jorio, OPEN MIND’s Sales Director for Germany.
In addition to enhancements of 5axis machining strategies and tool support, two new features in the field of actual CAM functionality garnered a lot of attention. hyperCAD®-S, the CAD portion of the CAM/CAD suite, offers a powerful tool with the ‘Deformation’ module, which provides targeted deformation of geometries. Global and local modification of component areas, which is otherwise usually only possible with elaborate modelling techniques, is particularly interesting for users who want to compensate for the warping of thin-walled parts, such as turbine blades.
Dialogue with the workshop
OPEN MIND presented a highly regarded visualisation solution with the new hyperMILL® ShopViewer. The ShopViewer allows the machine operator to check and simulate manufacturing processes directly via the monitor. The display, analysing and documenting of processed CAD/CAM data in the workshop improves the traceability of the manufacturing process via the toolpath simulation, the material removal simulation and the internal machine simulation. ShopViewer spares you paper documentation and also provides additional security: experienced machine operators can recognise possible errors early on using virtual process analyses.
