Hypermill 2024 the latest version of Open Mind’s CAD/CAM suite delivers new turning features and improved algorithms. This makes the digital process chain even more efficient, from CAD data and CAM programming to optimized NC code. Simplified rest machining and interaction with machine are just a few examples of how the software has been further refined.
The Toolmaking and Technology Centre (WTZ) at Thyssenkrupp Presta Steering in Switzerland has significantly streamlined its CAM programming process by adopting Hypermill from Open Mind Technologies. This move, initially aimed at leveraging advanced 5-axis strategies, now includes the automated creation of NC codes.
Open Mind Technologies, a CAD/CAM developer, is expanding its technical sales team in Sweden due to increased demand, bringing on board Fredrik Josefsson, a seasoned CAM expert with extensive experience in various industries, at its Gothenburg subsidiary.
Smaller enterprises with machining operations are keen to understand how they can stay competitive in the era of digitalisation, Industry 4.0, and IoT. The digital process already implemented in these companies, based on NC (Numerical Control) code generated from CAD (Computer-Aided Design) data, could serve as a starting point.
