EuroMold 2008: CAM programming with hyperMILL® and hyperDENT® in high demand

Strong interest in OPEN MIND solutions for increasing efficiency

Wessling – At EuroMold 2008, the main attraction for visitors at the OPEN MIND exhibition stands was the company's efficient 5axis milling strategies and time-saving automatic functions for 2.5D programming. In addition to considerable interest in the newly released hyperMILL® 2009.1 CAM software, OPEN MIND also experienced brisk demand for the completely automated programming system hyperDENT®, a solution for the dental sector.

Visitors from medium-sized and large businesses at EuroMold 2008 were extremely positive about the new functions introduced in hyperMILL® 2009.1. Visitors at the OPEN MIND exhibition stands were primarily interested in how the CAM systems on offer can increase the efficiency of existing process chains. "Customers today expect that short machining times and high process reliability go hand in hand, even with 5axis simultaneous machining of complex parts. The response to the new functions and improvements introduced in hyperMILL® 2009.1 were accordingly positive," says Hagen Rühlich, Technical Director at OPEN MIND.

"We especially noticed a strong demand from small run and variant manufacturers, who see their greatest optimisation potential in the programming times for 2.5D milling. The expansions and new developments in hyperMILL®'s intelligent programming strategies and automated functions were particularly well received by this group," says Rühlich. OPEN MIND products were also highly popular among users from the growing dental technology market. For instance, here there was considerable interest in the specialised hyperDENT® CAM solution.
