OPEN MIND at SolidWorks World 2009 Booth 810

WELLESLEY HILLS, MASSACHUSETTS: OPEN MIND Technologies USA Inc. presents the successful hyperMILL® CAM software as an integrated solution for SolidWorks® at the SolidWorks World 2009. Users benefit from the seamless connection between their familiar CAD application and OPEN MIND's powerful CAM application.

OPEN MIND Technologies AG's hyperMILL® CAM software integrates all the available strategies and applications, ranging from 2D, 3D, HSC and 5axis milling through to mill-turning and various special applications, under a single intuitive Windows-based user interface. A postprocessor, which is individually adapted to the machines, controllers and components used, converts the CAM programs reliably into machining programs. hyperMILL® thus makes it possible to program the entire machining of even the most sophisticated parts with just one CAM software system. This offers a significant advantage to users looking for integrated processes, lower processing times and high levels of reliability. As a CAD-integrated solution hyperMILL® is ideal for building up integrated process chains, which is another major benefit.

Product demonstrations in the booth will automation through feature-based-technology, medical and commercial product components, and specialty applications in the racing and turbomachinery market sectors.

OPEN MIND will also be making a presentation at SolidWorks World entitled "Speed Up Your Process from 2D-5X Simultaneous Machining". The presentation is scheduled for February 10 at 1 PM in the Certified Partner Theater.

CAD and CAM: Same user interface, same database All integrated hyperMILL® CAM solutions allow users to work with the user interface they are familiar with from their specific CAD application. As a result, users can easily exploit hyperMILL®'s wide range of machining strategies and optimisation functions to flexibly program their workpieces. A further advantage of the CAD-integrated solution is that both the CAD and CAM system access the same database. Using one single data model for the entire process - from the design and programming to the simulation - guarantees maximum transparency and process reliability.

First-class hyperMILL® CAD integrations receive top awards CAD-integrated hyperMILL® solutions are available for, SolidWorks®, thinkdesign, Autodesk® Inventor™ and hyperCAD®. In designating hyperMILL® as a 'Certified Gold Product', SolidWorks® also conferred its highest award based on outstanding integration, quality and interoperability in relation to its own CAD environment.
