OPEN MIND offers an extensive range of products, from 2D feature-oriented solutions for milling standard parts through to software for 5axis simultaneous machining. OPEN MIND Technologies AG is a leading developer of CAD/CAM software and postprocessors for designing and manufacturing complex moulds and parts. The outcome: tailor-made solutions guaranteeing the best possible milling result. All this, as well as the range of manufacturing processes, is taken into account when developing postprocessors for each customer. Another consideration is that there are differences among machines of the same model, e.g. In this way, for example, the controller's capabilities - control cycles, path correction, program part repetition and definable work planes - can be used more efficiently. So as to ensure that the quality and performance of the CAM programs are not lost to the controller and the machine, OPEN MIND Technologies has developed postprocessors individually adapted to the machines, controllers and components used. Postprocessors are the link between the CAM system on the one side and the machine and controller on the other. Interface problems are also eliminated this way. Both the CAD and the CAM systems access the same uniform database. Users can rely on a familiar working environment, facilitating the training phase and user acceptance. The CAD-integrated CAM solutions offer advantages especially in the areas of user-friendliness, process safety and integrated process chains. The integrated hyperMILL in Autodesk Inventor was recently certified for Autodesk Inventor 11.
#HOW TO HYPERMILL A CAR FULL#
This is possible because collision checking now extends to the entire part.Īlongside integration in its own hyperCAD® CAD system, OPEN MIND Technologies is now offering full integration of the CAM system in Autodesk Mechanical® Desktop, Autodesk Inventor® and Pro/ENGINEER® Wildfire(TM). All you need to enter is a preference angle. In 5-axis simultaneous machining, tool positions can be automatically calculated without defining guide curves. After definition, the macros are automatically assigned to the detected features.įurthermore, the new hyperMILL 9.5 includes a new, advanced generation of collision control and avoidance techniques. A further important addition is that machining strategies and tools can be defined as macros. Whereas previously geometry information for typical 2D machining steps such as holes and pockets was used as features, you can now use any characteristic geometry to automate the programming of recurring steps. This is made possible by more flexible feature definitions. The greatly enhanced feature technology of hyperMILL 9.5 also helps standardise the programming of recurring or similar geometries. The concept is enhanced with powerful specialised applications for multi-blade, single-blade and tube milling, all using the same straightforward user interface. hyperMILL offers strategies for 2D, 3D, 3+2 and for 5-axis simultaneous machining under one user-friendly interface. This also means having access to a wide range of machining strategies. If you want to be able to respond quickly and flexibly to changing requirements, you need a powerful CAM software system. There will also be many machining demonstrations and display parts with other partners Breton (A-9310), EMUGE (E-2745), Hermle (A-8161), Makino (A-8301), Mikron (A-8535), and OMV (A-8050). OPEN MIND Technologies will be presenting hyperMILL 9.5, the most recent version of its successful CAM software: not only with fascinating software demonstrations at its own booth (D-3306), but also at its partners' booths, DMG (A-8501).

These exhibitors will be presenting the newest trends and developments from the metal processing trade. There will be more than 1,200 exhibitors at IMTS 2006 that is taking place at McCormick Place in Chicago from September 6 through 13. At the OPEN MIND Technologies AG booth (D-3306), visitors to IMTS 2006 will have the chance to see exactly how flexible manufacturing can be with hyperMILL.

From 2D feature machining to 5-axis simultaneous milling, hyperMILL covers a wide range of machining strategies for diverse manufacturing tasks.
