From November 17–20, 2026, at Formnext, Open Mind will demonstrate how the Hypermill CAD/CAM system supports additive manufacturing and subtractive post-processing of parts. Intelligent, end-to-end processes are not limited to hybrid machines. The Best Fit function eliminates sources of error when switching between machines.

At AMB 2026, Open Mind Technologies will present the latest Hypermill CAD/CAM enhancements and the Hummingbird MES. The focus is on efficient machining, automated deburring, AI-supported CAM programming and integrated tool management for more productive manufacturing.

Software company Open Mind Technologies has released version 2026 of its cad/cam suite Hypermill. The new version is designed to increase both the speed at which NC programs can be created and process reliability.

Changing priorities, tool availability and machine downtime complicate single-part and small-batch production. At AMB 2026, Open Mind demonstrated how connected planning, CAM data and shop-floor feedback can help manufacturers track orders and adapt production schedules.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has moved well beyond the buzzword stage, and the tool and mould making industry is no exception. With the global AI market projected to grow at a steep pace through the next decade, manufacturers are increasingly weaving AI-powered solutions into core production workflows and CAD/CAM is where much of that transformation is now visible. Major players such as Siemens, Mastercam and Open Mind Technologies have all incorporated AI-powered solutions directly into their platforms.

At Mach 2026 in Birmingham, Open Mind Technologies will showcase the latest innovations in its Hypermill CAD/CAM suite, highlighting how digital process chains, MES integration and new AI-supported functions are reshaping connected manufacturing.

The Vericut Users’ Exchange (VUE) returned to the UK in September 2026 and brought customers together for a day of technical insight, awareness, practical CNC machining solutions, and knowledge sharing. Prominent among the highlights was a presentation by Stoneswood Precision Components on how Vericut is facilitating innovative processes like interpolation turning to push CNC machining capabilities beyond conventional limits.

At EMO 2025, Open Mind Technologies drew strong interest with live turn-milling demos and automation solutions powered by Hypermill. Highlights included the Hypermill Automation Center, Virtual Machining, and Hummingbird-MES — showcasing the company’s focus on connected and efficient manufacturing.

With the establishment of Open Mind Technologies Korea, the software developer reinforces its commitment to the Asian market. From Seoul, the company will support high-tech industries with its Hypermill and automation solutions.

At EMO 2025, Kellenberger takes a bold step beyond grinding. Under its unified brand, the Swiss precision specialist is introducing the new TM300 – a multifunctional turning, milling, and grinding machine, alongside expanded solutions in its core grinding portfolio.
