OPEN MIND’s hyperMILL 2009.2 features CAD-integrated solutions

The system enables users to benefit from the seamless connection between their CAD and CAM allowing full access to hyperMill functions via the CAD interface. Data import issues and read/write errors can be avoided, as both the CAD and CAM systems have access to the same data model. It is possible to switch between the CAD and CAM systems at any time. If changes are made to the CAD data, all defined CAM operations are updated automatically. The hyperMILL CAM software has a range of machining strategies, from 2D and 3D milling, HSC and mill-turning, right through to 5-axis milling. Autodesk has officially certified the integration of hyperMILL 2009.2 to provide the CAM solution as part of the latest release of Autodesk Inventor 2010. This confirms full integration and data associativity with Autodesk Inventor. Direct interfaces also allow seamless data imports from CATIA V4 and CATIA V5, Pro/ENGINEER, NX (Unigraphics), Parasolid and SolidWorks. Common standard interfaces, such as IGES, STEP or STL, are also available.
