OPEN MIND at METALL 2013

Software for highly efficient machining

Wessling (Germany), in March 2013 – METALL 2013 will take place in Munich, Germany from 6 to 8 March 2013. CAD-/CAM software developer OPEN MIND
(Hall A6, Stand I 11) will use the exhibition to offer visitors from companies from the metalworking industry a first look at the upcoming
hyperMILL® version 2013 CAM software. With hyperCAD-S®, OPEN MIND is introducing its in-house developed CAD software, which is specially tailored to
the needs of NC programmers.

“We regard regionally important fairs such as METALL in Munich very highly. Here, our employees are often able to cater specifically to the technical requirements
of the visitors and offer suggestions for process optimisation using CAD/CAM solutions.

Both users and manufacturers benefit from these in-depth conversations,” says Volker Nesenhöner, CEO of OPEN MIND Technologies AG. hyperCAD-S® has been redeveloped from scratch, with the architecture, core, graphics, database, user interface and API all being new software designs.

The 64-bit software is particularly powerful when importing and customising data. Users can easily modify any of the geometry elements. Curves and free-form surfaces are depicted using Bezier and NURBS geometries. In addition to the familiar basic elements for construction, the core now also provides a number of elements that specifically aid CAM programmers, including tool paths, polygon networks, point clouds and rectangles. The result is a clearly structured GUI that does not rely on any hidden functions.
