A co-operative agreement between CF Turbo and software developer Open Mind has just been announced to provide the former a complete design on its manufacturing workflow.

Fittings and shower manufacturer Hansgrohe from Offenburg works with Exeron eroding and milling technology. High-precision surfaces are the key task for Exeron.

Open Mind Technologies has announced that its Hypermill CAM software has been utilised to conduct the 5-axis programming of a replica basketball hoop.

The confirmed integration, including data associativity, is said to allow for continuous workflows from design through to CNC manufacturing.

Changes to user interaction are said to improve workflow.

The latest version of the hypermill CAD/CAM suite, 2019.1, is now available. Open Mind, one of the leading manufacturers of CAD/CAM solutions, has expanded the finishing module in the hypermill Maxx Machining performance package. Further highlights include process optimizations as well as new functions for reducing calculation times.

Hypermill 2019.1 by Open Mind Technologies will be showcased at Solidworks in February. The new software promises more efficiency and an easy to use interface.

As a precision manufacturer at the high end of its sector, Eropräzisa makes no compromises with its milling tools. This is why, for the last few years, it has decided to commit to using the MMC Hitachi Tool range of tools for 'hard milling' operations, i.e., machining after the heat treatment process.

Germany – New types of barrel-cutters are now available for broad application. But the potential of the tools can only be exploited fully with suitable CAM technology.By Karl Obermann, freelance journalist.

There are high demands for optimisation in cutting manufacturing. Productivity needs to increase and the quality needs to improve or at least stay at the same level with reduced costs. But where in the process chain is the best place to start?
