Software company Open Mind will be exhibiting at Moulding Expo 2023 (June 13-16, 2023, Stuttgart) in Hall 1, Booth D42. The manufacturer will present the Hypermill CAD/CAM suite at the trade fair as an end-to-end complete solution for tool and mould making.

The CAM software Hypermill from Open Mind bears the ‘DMQP’ (DMG Mori Qualified Products) quality seal and is thus part of the DMG Mori product configurator.

The shift to Hypermill Release 2023 makes the CAD/CAM suite from Open Mind Technologies more powerful and introduces innovative functions. Not only does the software load faster, but the calculation time of tool paths was able to be accelerated as well. In addition, the “General Transformation Pattern” function assures that users save time when machining recurring geometries.

The Hypermill CAD/CAM suite from Open Mind is a highly regarded end-to-end complete solution in the mould and die industry, as it also covers aspects such as electrode manufacturing and wire EDM. It is now the introduction of the function — 5-axis radial machining — to take center stage.

Plymouth-based company Tooltech manufactures tooling for the aerospace and power generation sectors, producing injection moulds and all the fixturing that goes alongside that. In the past the company hat a lot of surface finish problems and there were a lot of collisions. This is why the Devon manufacturer opted for CAM software from Open Mind Technologies.

At AMB 2022, Open Mind Technologies will not only highlight the strategic partnership with the recently acquired MES provider Hummingbird Systems. The company will also address the role of CAM in networked production processes under the banner of “Create the Future of Manufacturing Together”.

As the die & mould sector often involves one-offs and small series, standard tools are preferred here. In view of the almost infinite variety of geometry and design, users shy away from stocking a large and accordingly cost-intensive range of tool types. CAM programming is thus tasked with processing pending machining jobs using the stock of tools on hand. Compromises are often made at the expense of machine running times.

Precision tools are a speciality of the European market. Their quality allows manufacturers around the world to produce high-technology parts and components for sophisticated applications. The innovative spirit of the industry is the trump card for the emerging recovery after the Corona crisis. We present some of the highlights recently launched by international toolmakers.
