With their CAM/CAD system for everything from 3-axis to complex 5-axis machining in the limelight, Open Mind Technologies demonstrated its latest Hypermill Version 2022.1 at Mach 2022.

As simple and intuitive as possible, but with many machining functions and efficient production: This is what software systems for machine programming are supposed to achieve. Here is an (incomplete) overview of current CNC and CAM software.

Software company Open Mind is further closing the gap between CAM systems and physical machine environments with its Hypermill Virtual Machining solution. The integrated all-in-one system eliminates the need for various software solutions as it maps all steps virtually, giving manufacturers absolute control over the machining process.

Sweden — One of the world's leading providers of CAD/CAM solutions is strengthening its presence in Scandinavia with the establishment of Open Mind Technologies Scandinavia in Gothenburg.

From the 4th to the 8th of April, Open Mind Technologies will once again be returning to the Mach exhibition at the Birmingham NEC, giving its exhibition premiere to the latest version of its Hypermill CAD/CAM software.

Software developer Open Mind Technologies and Hummingbird Systems have been cooperating since 2020 — now the manufacturer of the Hypermill CAD/CAM suite has acquired a 51 percent stake in the MES manufacturer.

What happens when three specialists go wild in their field of expertise can be seen on a workpiece for tool and mould making. A project developed for an online seminar demonstrates the know-how and the successful cooperation. The clamping specialist Schunk, the programming professionals from Open Mind and the tool experts from Horn were on board. New approaches met proven technologies.

Software developer Open Mind has upgraded its Hypermill CAM software for machine- and controller-independent NC programming. These include optimisations for Virtual Machining, enhancements to the 5-axis strategies for better results in terms of surface quality, new options for 2D functionalities, as well as efficient innovations in the area of electrode manufacturing that deliver even more convenient and faster programming.

UK — Birmingham based Cutting Blue was founded four years ago by Piotr Parobczy as a consultancy imbued in the programming of complex high-value components for the F1 and motorsport industries. However, in the last 18 months, the small subcontract company has commenced manufacturing, purchasing machine tools from Doosan and DMG Mori that are supported by the CAM software from Open Mind Technologies.
